> In reply to nekko @ 2013-01-24 20:04 from K1G8 - click to readI am exactly thinking the same. Too bad Nokia chose to put an end to Symbian models, cause it had features I OS, Android and WP do not have, like... understandable multitasking, lightweight OS, a good energy management...
It is simple, without Symbian, we would never had know what are smartphones. It was a pioneer.
And now what? Will all smartphones just last one day without charging, will all of them just be connected devices instead of being converged devices, will they all be eye candy focused but lacking features and functions?

I totally dont get it, if symbian is no longer the must OS then why make a really nice phone and use symbian as the OS :/

Just stop being stubborn and go android.

Symbian platform emegerd as the most powerful mobile os.

It is wasteful to compare it with ios or androids.

Every other mobile os has miles to go to evn match its legacy.

Nokia stands as first love with symbian.

And gradually they will do the same with wnds 8 phones in future.

For time being.

For symbian mobiles,

RIP!!!

I am thankful for all the Samsung/HTC/Sony, etc and Android/iOS fans that they are not bashing and trolling here in this thread. Seriously Thank you.

Now the nokia abandoned the symbian, I must go for Android. Window phone is a crap. The nokia's 'no no Android' strategy is the true reason for the pitfall of the company. Look Samsung, Lg, Sony, they not stuck with one only os. I still love Symbian and say that it is the best os, it just need to be open source. Anyway, Android is the todays Symbian and my n8 is my last nokia device
No No Nokia(Windows Mobile)

why? the best phones from nokia always were symbian phones, the lumia 800 neithet has a good camera nor a good speaker, the lumia 900 was the same lumia 800 j6st with a bigger screen. now lumia 920, which doesn't has music equalizer, google maps. what I try to say is that WINDOWS PHONE OS is not going to as great as symbian was.

Then do comparison between android and symbian. Android and symbian are in very same level. Android doenst have native 3g video call support, also no support for handsfree with multimedia keys to control music player. Symbian had these features since 2007.
