    I think this might be interesting as well: "Use PNG as Symbian application icon instead of SVG":http://www.leonardorisuleo.info/blog/2009/11/how-to-use-png-as-symbian-application-icon-instead-of-svg/

    Just yesterday I used this method to create my Symbian application icon and it works pretty well.

      Small update: I've been trying out Adobe Illustrator CS5 here, and it works better than all the other approaches I've used so far.

      I still prefer Inkscape to design the logo and save as a normal Inkscape .svg, but then I open it in Illustrator and use the "Save for Web/Device" and selected SVG 1.1+ Tiny - and it works on the N8's and N97s I've used. Seems it is the best solution if you just want it done.

      Note: Some gradients will be rasterized by Illustrator, but they still look OK on the phone.

        I faced the same problem with my own icons, so I wrote

        Adobe Illustrator is probably the best, but also very expensive.

        I've been told that new Carbide.ui would do SVG Tiny conversion as well, does anyone have any experience with that?

            Hi, the Inkscape thing worked pretty nicely, however I lost the transparency from my PNG image :o
