No doubt this page is more of users who used only symbian, wanted to see some more open response. I really liked what nokia did with n900. Because of windows 7 they dumped it. SAD!

symbian is a good OS IMO... but it's greatest downfall is the lack of improvements in OS... 3 year old 5800 and the recent symbian phones all look the same... it's necessary to be a step ahead in the cut throat mobile OS competition.. good is not enough.. you have to be the best..
But I totally agree with harm.. american media have launched an all out attack on nokia and symbian which looks suspective to me..

Bond, Desi Bond!
They dumped it because of lack of direction. Had they continued with Maemo, Microsoft would've never got hold on Nokia.

Ya right! you know what i still dont feel they will succeed with Win7. They need to start working on there brand now like Apple and HTC. Enough with cheap phones.
i agree ! i really doubt the success with win 7

with Win Phone7 they mayn't have good sale figure but now they no longer need to spend million on developing apps & updating their own OS. so in a way they will make more profit now. full focus on H/W only.
also if they offer vanilla WinPhone7 then it'll be even better. as others (HTC, Samsung, Moto) customizes Android before sending out = wasting more cash.

Peak Oil is real!
Right now, skins like Touchwiz, Sense, Motoblur might seem like a waste of resources and time. We miss out on updates and the skins suck and make phones laggy and drain battery...
But the phone companies are improving their skins rapidly... and they have all begun diverging and becoming better, more unique... Compare the old Touchwiz interface with the new Touchwiz 4... the difference is staggering... Phone companies are learning fast...
IMO, in a couple of years, these skins will become real brands, truely differentiating these phones from each other.
Cheers!
I've used 3 S60 phones (1 each of S60, S60 v3, S60 v5) In chronological order the Nokia 3230, Nokia 5230 and the C5 all 3 of which are still with me and my parents. I use the 3230 and the 5230. Battery life and the decent multitasking is what ticks the boxes for me. I've used the 5230 and 3230 to download torrents etc and my 3230 is now 4 years old but it still gives me 3-4 days of total battery life with about 1 hour of calling daily. or 5 days if used sparingly. The 5230 is a very trusted companion during my trips b/w Chennai and Cochin. My usage of the 5230 involves 30 min of browsing daily and 30 mins of calls and lasts about 3 days before I've to charge it. For my usage I'd prefer a Nokia smartphone considering the cost (7.2k for the 3230 in May '07 and 8.3k for the 5230 with Data Cable and 4GB mem card in Feb '10). The C5 cost 7.5k in Dec '10 but is a fast responding phone compared to most other phones, with its 600MHz processor also, where else do you get free voice guided navigation for a low(ish) price. For me Nokia still rules.
Nokia's always been with symbian since the smartphone era started, i rememeber the first touch phone by nokia 7710, what a beauty, it had a good UI, maybe not to today's standard, if only they had continued the touchcreen UI project which was abandoned by Nokia in early years we've had a different UI, I've used many different symbians, tried all in the s60 and s40 series, simplistic and productive OS, did the job..Symbian has everything,(symbian 3) it has the ability to run HD games, play multi format songs, and now the Os has been even touch optimized, I've never seen better multitasking then symbian's, even though in android, it just suspends, u need advanced task killer or something to kill it, symbian was made as in such a way that the resources are less, and the phone has to use available hardware 50% less..no wonder, it's the most efficient OS in the market, I cannot imagine if we users are gifted with 1.2 ghz procc, Adreno or tegra gpu, the phone would be ultimate, i've used wildfire, and c7 at the same time, android is a power sucker and a battery sucker too, those mid end andro's are not even capable of handling the Os, whereas in symbian 3 or anna, run 3-4 hd games simultaneously, you still won't see any lag or slowness,maybe the UI's outdated, but i guess belle will fix and give the proper attention it's been needing.Qt also has lot of flexibility and power, apps can also be ported, symbian would have been the king of smartphone os's if they had more apps, better UI, and source codes development to community and developers....Let's hope symbian survives, and hails again
