Don't shy away at the sound of that "S" word. I've got some reassuring news for anyone who's ever thrown their N95 across the room in horror. Starting today, Symbian^2 will be offered as a free open source (http://gizmodo.com/tag/opensource/) download for anyone wanting to tinker with it. The details are a bit thin on the ground so far, but at least it shows Symbian is finally starting to view Android as a threat.
Once Symbian^3 is launched (http://gizmodo.com/5462102/nokia-releasing-maemo-6-phones-later-this-year-symbian-4-next-year) later this year, it won't be quite as attractive fooling around with Symbian^2 behind its back, so best to start early and get in a few months of quality time together before the jealousy sets in.
