Some guy from Greece, 12 Dec 2010"Care to explain why Android is growing at an exponential rate at the expense of Symbian?... moreDo you honestly think it's just coincidence that Nokia's decline started when the iPhone launched? And that decline only got worst at the rise of Android.
It's because people don't like how combersome Symbian is. People found a better alternative in Android and iOS and no matter which UI it is, may it be Sense, Timescape, or TouchWiz, it's still more user friendly than the old Symbian. People voted with their wallets and Nokia is forced to move on to Meego on their flagship N series. Nokia knows that Symbian just doesn't cut it and that is why they are moving their high end phones to Meego.
Crap is crap and even if you put it on the best hardware, it's still crap!

No i don't. Do you? Yes you do! And you say it is Adroids friendliness.
Which adroids? There are more than three UI out there. Friendliest of them is Sony's yet it's the only "Adroid company" that's losing market share. Still think it's a matter of friendliness?
It wasn't the fact that Nokia was years late in touchscreen trend? Wasn't it that Koreans and Chinese ofer better technicals for the same money? Maybe the fact that only 1 out of 7 new mobiles is Nokia? None of these had anything to do with Nokia's decline?
I'm not a market analyst. I just shared some thoughts with everyone here about OSs. I meant to show how subjective it is to either be satisfied or not by a UI and concequently how stupid is all the bashing that takes place in these comments....

It's because people find it more user friendly, modern, and everthing Symbian is not.
How do you explain why Nokia lost $77 Billion in market value since 2007? It's because people moved on to more user friendly devices like Android and iOS.

The free navigation on Nokia-phones is not worth that much because it is not that expensive to buy complete navigation-software to Android-phones.

Of course it can't beat android os everybody have admitted. But like i say it just competing and staying with the business. Meego os will be the one challenging android and wp7. I don't see why people make fuss over it jeez.

You see, familiarity is a key element for what we call friendliness in a User Interface. I just can't help it finding my S60 Symbian the easiest OS, since it's the one i know better! It's that simple.
While Xperia's X8 is by far the easiest, smoothest, most natural UI it just can't beat the familiarity that roots from my S40. I'm faster (in what i do with my phone) when using Symbian and unwilling to go through (few) months of inconvenience, learning features that i don't really use.
Of course moving forward will become a necessity, eventually, but up until then, i have a real life to live instead of learning some phone's gimmicks*...

this is helping them by the time they transition to MeeGo OS.

No microSD, no USB OTG/HDMI, no radio RDS, there are Android devices and Nokia handsets that do better than this. Get a Desire HD, N8, upcoming Motorola Olympus. They're worth it.
