Symbian has unlimited no. of apps made for it. Then there are the unlimited no. of games made for it. Then there are emulators which let u play Tv video games, Gameboy color etc. on ur cell, which again adds up to more games. Then there is Opera for Symbian which is almost equal to its PC counterpart in features. I can go on with the list but the point is with Symbian u never get bored with ur cell phone.
All well and agreed but main problem arises is the computing power in these cell phones. Most of the phones just can't handle the array of activities that many users do i.e. multitasking. That has been a big problem with Nokia phones. I'd like to make full use of my Nokia 3230 and I can but it's so slow that it irritates me. I am not saying it should have power of a personal computer. Nokia 6630 on the other hand is really fast enough, now if 3230 was that fast, I wouldn't have had a single problem. But, now in 3230 they haven't included an FM, which is a necessity for many people even though you can store a lot of songs in the phone.krazyfrog said:

If you know how java works, you will never say that again
Practically, there cannt be any java virus for mobile phone. This is because a java application to use any native function, like a file IO to phone/card memory, either application will prompt every time it does the same, or it have to be digitally signed.
How about a simple program that constantly overloads the available mem. ??? Or maybe another that constantly send sms's ??? Once u install the java app. it gets almost full control as soon as u launch it ... it can do whatever it wants ....

Just because Symbian has virus risks we should not use it
pooh pooh
just because my legs can be broken I should not walk or just because I am going to die one day i should not live at all
to be very frank people if one cannot keep a Symbian fone safe He's not able to harness its true power he does not deserve it at all

walking is like talking - basic feature, required to be done.
having symbian is like having sex with a prostitute. a small mistake and you are infected.
its your chice - you want to enjoy or play safe.

Huh.. what an excuse.
First of all symbian is not that vulnerable... and if u r so afraid of virus than stop using windows in ur pc... because windows is more likely to be attacked by virus than symbian...
seccondly, in future u'll find only smartphones... they are the future of mobile technology, and i'm not talkin abt symbi only.. in future u'll find phone based on all the platforms...
so its bettr u accept them now..
thirdly u must'nt compare smartphone with normalphones... smartphones are more or less like computers....
so my suggestion to all people
JAGO GRAHAK JAGO!!!!

i go with pathiks.. i too used many non-symbian phones before but once i started using n-gage QD a symbian phon i promised nevere and never to go for non-symbian phone because
1> they re user friendly
2> geeks can do lot of experiments with it
3> connectivity
4> support... if ur mobile doesnot support some format then there is always a software to help u.. as in most case
5> extendable memory.. upto 1gb and more and now n91 with 3gb inbuilt
6> and for QD specially those out standing games... they thrills.. specially ASPHALT GT 2
one thing more is games.. there is always hell lot of difference between jar games and sis game quality..
friend i would say one try symbian and u will be lost with it.

But as of what I have heard symbian is loosing favours with cell phone manufacturers and they plan to move soon toward windows and linux based smart phones. Even from nokia we are seeing non-symbian phones in hig-end segment. Yes, I agree symbian is all powerful. But, I consider it an unnecessary vice for whosoever is using the phone and doesn't make full use of it's capability.
It's way better to buy a non symbian SE W series cell phone for my sister then a symbian phone with not so good sound quality at the same price. So, if you aren't going to make full use of symbian's capability, no use of paying those extra bucks for it. Rather pay for what features you are going to use.
I personally prefer symbian cos I need functionality and don't care much for sound quality, which nokia lags behind SE. I haven't tried N series phones, I can't afford it, but of what I have heard they can't match sound quality of SE of the same price range.

I do
And for all of you [sarcasm] extremely well informed [/sarcasm] gentlemen concerned about viruses
, who have (probably) never used a smartphone in their lives, this should explain the real situation far better than I can here*3lib.ukonline.co.uk/viruses.htm
And Series 60 v3 (9.1) does not even allow you to use unsigned apps...
Still think viruses for symbian are a real problem?

well i have used symbian ph from the last 3years...6600 to 6630...to n90
i have never formatted my ph and never used any antivirus..it depends from the source from where u download games,applications,themes,java apps and games,
fonts,txt files etc
well symbian phones are like addiction..when u tried making the full use of ur ph!im sure u will never go for sony,samsung or lg
symbian os is the most powerful in regards of functions.customise.and features then other phones tht gives ur predefined media players,default camera functions and the same menu again n again
go for symbian ph man...its like building ur own ph..ie installing softwares,games and so much to do..u wont be bored..bcz each day new games and applications developed..and its more thn enough to handle !!
