Symbian and Orange Partner: working together

Symbian and Orange Partner collaborate to create Orange specific software packages to complement and accelerate the Orange device customisation process. We recognise the vital role third party application developers play in driving the market for advanced phones and network services. This is why support is given to developers through key events, such as the Orange Partner Camp and Symbian Smartphone Show

In addition, through working together with Symbian, Orange Partner is able to give our premium members and contracted partners early access to the Symbian OS Library for Application Developers. This includes access to generic Symbian API documentation prior to it being available in an SDK for general public/developer release, find out more
