The Series 60 software is not really proprietary; Nokia has licensed
it to many other manufacturers. It uses version 6.1 (also known as
6.1s) of SymbianOS, which was developed for Nokia by Symbian.

Or possibly due to severe memory restrictions. The 7650 has less
memory than other handsets running recent versions of SymbianOS.

In Symbian terminology, the P800 is a smartphone and the 3650 and 7650
are feature phones.
