[Loadstone] Loadstone Symbian 3RD edition status

[Miranda]

Hi Monty,

Thanks for the update, and thanks also for developing this great program.

There is one question I would like to ask. Now that you are developing a 
Loadstone version for 3rd generation Symbian phones, will you continue 
maintaining the version for older phones as well?
I'm asking because I still am very satisfied with my N70 and I don't have 
plans for buying a new phone soon.

Thanks very much,
Miranda
