I really hope someone like Jolla buys the Symbian project from Nokia and merge it with the Sailfish OS. That'd create the most powerful OS ever! Android and iOS have many things copied from Symbian. Also, i think there's no malwares on Symbian and it is the only OS that doesn't spy on users but seriously there's not going to be any new Symbian phones. If Nokia somehow created a SDK that'd be easy to use and apps written for a current Symbian OS would also work on upcoming Symbian OS. That'd have been great. Did you guys see Jolla revamped MeeGo OS into Sailfish OS? I think it's great and if somehow Symbian gets merged with Sailfish OS, that would be great! A revolutionary OS.
when will nokia release stable firmware for 808 pureview
well said MdN and Carol...:):):):)
AnonD-168319, 24 Jul 2013Why in the hell would anyone want a phone these days that's not one of the three main OS's? An... moreThe question is: Why the hell should people chose a phone just cause it's popular and has apps. The other question is: why the hell should i have what everybody has? I never had what everybody had. When i had symbian, people did not know what that big thing is. Now, i have symbian and people still don't know what that small thing is;). Sad is that i'm always up front and people are always lagging behind with their trend. Now, let me answer your question: Cause there is still no other system out there to give me what Symbian did and does. The only system that could stand up against Symbian was MeeGo Hartman, and that's gone to. Now, with all the hope wp will get the real Nokia stamp on it i wait for the update that's gonna make it Symbian. If not, still i will be forced to buy one, cause other brands are as lame as a plastic disposable cup.

AnonD-168319, 24 Jul 2013Why in the hell would anyone want a phone these days that's not one of the three main OS's? An... moreAre you sure about that? Google is developing Chrome OS because there's not much future in Android. It's so badly coded it needs 4 cores for something others do with two. Also, 95% of Android paid apps are illegally downloaded = no money for Google. Ad revenues are falling too. You can buy a quad-core 13MP Chinese Android for 200 Euro (free shipping) so the market will go upside down soon too, or move on to something else. Any OS will last 10 years, no matter how popular it is. 100 million people around the world still use Symbian because nothing suits THEIR needs better, no matter how hard they are being told they "need" something else. Finally, Symbian is the only OS that doesn't spy on you, user friendly, battery efficient, you don't need an infinite data plan just for "other" (unknown traffic) and looks better than any other OS. Fully customizable too, good Symbian themes have 1100-1400 icons while top Android icon packs have maybe 700-800. And so on, and so on.

An... moreif android is going to rule the world in 5 years and if u r considering abt the main three os in the market.. Then for what hell u came to this page..:P:P:P:P:P. Try something else.. If i ask u to justify 'why u criticise symbian' obviously u will come out with three or four points.. BUt that will be with respect to hardware and apps.. Other than that can u say anything.. That too app department provides us the basics.. SO no worries for symbian user..
Even take into reality. My friend got a samsung galaxy S duos as birthday gift from his father this year. But he was using 5800 till that evening.. after two weeks he is once again back to 5800 saying that this old machine still satisfies me rather than new. He feels that build and battery is not good in samsung. Inspite of having good hardware it fails to attract an old nokia user.. Have u ever used 5800 if not try to get ur hand on it. The real XPRESSMUSIC.:):)
Why in the hell would anyone want a phone these days that's not one of the three main OS's? And really, Android, since that's going to take over the market completely in the next 5 years...?

Can anyone tell me what sizes in MB the pictures comes out in different resolutions? After a lot of searching i finally found a store which has 20 Nokia 808 and i don't think they are gonna sell out soon, not in a month. I'm also waiting for Nokia Lumia 1020 however i hate WP8 and Microsoft. Should i wait or go for this phone? By th way it umis available here in 18k brand new here in India.

Here is breif sales report of symbian phones from nokia
Q4-2008- 15 million
Q4-2009- 20 million ( up by 5 million or 33%)
Q4-2010- 28 million ( up by 8 million or 40%)
Then,
Q1-2011- 24 million (down by 4 million or 14 %) this was the quarter of begining of 'Elop's effect'
Q4-2011- 18 million at least.
So anyone with little mathematical knowledge calculate weather symbian sales was declining or increasing, yes there was a downward slope but totally due to Elop's effect.
All above data is not made by me at home. These are nokia's official sales report.
Have any questions or doubt just check out the link below...
