Daniel, thank you for the SyncML survey!

There is a solution to the SHA2 problem with the older Symbian phones (S60v3). 

Nokia put out a fix:

See this post on the Daily Mobile forum for the details:

More and more sites will be moving to SHA2 certs.  Let's keep those classic 
Nokias in service!

Regards,
