>>and we have it on good authority that you can disable certificate verification for installed apps
Go on, then, how? You'll make a hoard of Symbian OS developers very happy if it is possible. You can certainly switch off blocking of developer certificates on the device, but you can't switch off certificate checks completely... (There is a 'self signed' concept, but you are pretty restricted in the APIs you can use).
If you can demonstrate an application installed which uses manufacturer-granted capabilities (i.e. restricted APIs) without a developer certificate or signed by a manufacturer I will eat my hat. Twice.
