Sean, 30 Sep 2010Symbian 3 is like Windows 7 from Microsoft.
If you consider S60 v5 as Vista, then they have i... moreI haven't tried Windows 7 yet. Still on Vista.
I currently am using the N97 which is rather sluggish. I have gotten used to it and have been able to configure it to a point where it is pretty stable. Any minor glitches, I know the workarounds.
I'm contemplating upgrading to an E7 (because of the keyboard). If S^3 is only a slight improvement, then it may not be worth my money and I'll hang onto my N97 for a while longer (or upgrade to a different brand).

The Meego platform is also based on QT. The Symbian ^4 version would......be...QT. Errr....works across all platforms nicely. Easily changeable if they need to as QT is soooo much easier to work with.
There is a competition going on in the US that Nokia are running for developers of QT based apps. They don't say for which OS but that is because the software would work on both....including Symbian ^4.

Google Symbian 4 , its realising early next year. And then Nokia as usual will forget Symbian 3 users to earn from Symbian 4. And N8's ancient CPU wont run Symbian 4 !!

If you consider S60 v5 as Vista, then they have improved things a "little" bit and renamed "Improved version of s60 v5 as Symbian 3".
What can i expect from Symbian 3?
Expect S60 v5 OS in its tweak and littlebit speedier form.

Mac, 30 Sep 2010Mmmmmmmmmm.........and I will get that one too!!!Rich guy!! I can afford spending near 400euros on a phone once in an year. So i better wait for Symbian 4 phone which will be in production for next 2-3years. Shortage of good apps might affect Symbian 3 as its shelf life will be only 6-7 months.

Why pay such a high amount for N8 with Symbian^3 when Symbian^4 which is built from scratch is releasing by April 2011. Investing in Symbian^3 device with life of few months is waste of money. Better invest in Symbian^4 device as Symbian^5 has not even in Alpha stage. And Symbian has confirmed N8 cant be upgraded to Symbian^4 as CPU is weak in N8.
