Sadly I think yes. If you want to install an app that needs more capabilities than self-signed and the developer doesn't has a (paid) certificate for it.
@Allstar:
Is it possible to send out an SOS to all Symbian forums/blogs/et cetera to coordinate a mass bulletin entreating all Symbian users to not pitch their perfectly good devices and jump ship, but to hack them and start bailing the boat we are all in? i think that "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party" (
Charles Weller) so to speak. This is really a defining moment in a strange way and the only way to keep these devices of ours relevant is for the community to truly band together.
It would be nice, but how to get the word out to the general Symbian public who are not active in these communities of ours is the major obstacle.
We know Nokia has only tried to force WP down our throats, so
"how can the most of the Symbian user base be reached?" is a big issue.
