Theres many issues with apps and watever. Not a surprise if considering Samsungs bad record when it comes to software and aftersales services. The fixes and patches for Galaxy S has come from enthusiast and advanced users, Samsungs absence shud come as no surprise. "Reset to factory settings" seem to be samsungs only advice to Galaxy S owners with issues.

As far as the Samsung Galaxy S goes it is a decent phone BUT,
it feels like it came out of a Christmas cracker. It just feels cheap and plasticky. And I can't fathom why it doesn't have a LED flash for the camera. Now the Samsung wave is a lot better in terms of build quality due to the Aluminium housing, BUT it doesn't have Android, it has Bada instead which to me feels and looks like a hybrid between Symbian and Android.
I'm not a big fan of Android but I can't condemn it as being rubbish because it is quite good. However, if you look at the changelogs for Android, their first offerings were really quite poor in terms of functionality, and they're only just catching up to what a phone OS should be doing.
So, I'm quite relaxed about the shortcomings of Symbian 3 as it is only in it's first release and can only improve with the planned updates in the new year. Also bear in mind that Symbian 3 at the present is far superior to the first release of Android way back in late 2009, which is encouraging in my opinion.
Cheers.

I can only assume you've never used any other previous versions
of Symbian, as you wouldn't have made that erroneous statement.
There are lots of new improvements in Symbian 3 compared to previous versions.
Cheers

Hello everyone... I am using N8 from past 2 months nd it had been a great experience exploring it..but now after 2 month i am realising that nokia has done nothing new in symbian^3. i mean its a good cell no doubt but it lacks d android flexibility..just now i read one review on yahoo, it also states that by 2011 nokia will loose its king position nd it can keep his position as king only if dey come up wid android or something new which our eyes have never seen before..something revelutionary, something radical....being a nokia user i feel bad for myself and for d company dat company is doing nothin for their customers.. its been 3 months nd dere is no news of fw update. browser is just pathetic, restarting problem is remote thing but is still dere, limited 3rdparty software availabilty, costly oVI store, no eq in music player, and blah blah...
I am quite sure dat if nokia continue showing this kind of careless behaviour den most of their old nd loyal customer will switch to other brand or OS.. Please Nokia do something soon..i cannot see u dying.

The "we" part is something that doesnt go down well too. Speak about what you think and not on behalf of others. Hope you enjoyed trolling but please run along and leave the forum to those that have some interest in the n8 rather than none at all like you.

Everyday I see many people say android is better than symbian^3 and hence they pass the verdict saying N8 which runs on Symbian^3 platform isn't good. I simply don't understand this.
Can anyone tell me something which android can do but symbian^3 can't in terms of software aspect? All those N8 bashers, can you explain this to me. It would be helpful.
