Ios is pretty, symbian is ugly.. there must be a good reason for symbian fans to luv it, dont u think?
on another note, symbian aint noob friendly... and an average mobile user will find IOS pretty limited and frustrating... ma two cents..
"It will be an epic failiure because Symbian3 is still Symbian and not being able to easily remove the battery aftet one a the many traditional crashes will make most customers very angry"
not if they read the manual they wont.. pressing power button for few secs will "force" the device to shut down.. its the same like in pc, no matter how badly ur pc is frozen, pressing power button for 8 seconds will ALWAYS shut it down.. no matter wat... or in 99% of freezing cases at the very least :D
hopefully with faster processor + a gpu, plus more rams + virtual memory + more storage space... this god damn symbian wont freeze much :).. e72 is an example of a transitional step. symbian^1 + fast processor, dosnt freeze much, and acceptably fast

i find android is not user friendly, meego ui is what android, ios and ... moreJust to let you know. iPhone was the one who started all of this. Back in 2007, Steve Jobs proposed the idea of getting rid of the keyboard and that is why now we have all this brilliant touchscreen phones, N8 and MeeGo included.
However, when it comes to UI performance, I have yet to seen S^3 and MeeGo true capability and I shall reserve my judgement until then. Good luck to Nokia, the former leader in smartphone world. This N8 will really determine whether it swims or sinks.

my personal opinion
i find android is not user friendly, meego ui is what android, ios and webos should be, no physical button is needed to operate thesystem,hence the nokia designers can design a more beautiful phone, it mean that larger screen size in a smaller phone size! Is it good?
The recent nokia designed by community finished concept phone design is the ideal design for meego phone, they just need to remove the menu front button
i do not care about the thickness as long as the phone is candybar form, so they can put more juicy battery in thick phone
thank you
if the new ceo wants to make wp7phone , he will not stay long

Lulzim, 11 Sep 2010i agree with you , symbian suck if we compare with ANDROID . ANDROID IS KING
Sony Ericsso... moreIn what is the Android king compared to the Symbian?
What can it do that Symbian can't? I'm not saying there isnt anything, but if you know symbian sucks and android is king, I'm sure you can elaborate the differences then.

That, of all the guys who log in to the GSMArena site 95% of them check out this forum (N 8's forum), but ofcourse there are those of the 95% that check out other forums. This's called a real hit.

I'm not normally a Nokia fan, but I had the pleasure of playing with an N8 a couple of days back, and its actually impressive. Dont be fooled by the 680mhz processor, this phone is FAST. keeping up with the 1ghz phones easy, simply because all the visuals are processed on the dedicated GPU, leaving the CPU free to just process background tasks, something not possible with the current snapdragons or hummingbirds.
Symbian has been obviously improved as well, the whole interface feels much more touch friendly, the double tab nonsense of before has gone, which along with capacitive technology in the screen makes everything feel really nice and smooth.
I only got to talk to the Nokia guy for about 10 minutes, but I've been in the mobile industry for 3 years, I've had Iphones, Samsung handsets (Android, and currently BADA, SE handsets running Symbian, basically everything you can imagine. I've always avoided Nokia phones due to a strong dislike, but the N8 is seriously making me consider my next choice of upgrade.
Dont hate it, before you try it, trust me.

The small screen-resolution is not ok on a top end multimedia top end smartphone, and the traditionally small Nokia battery is definetly mot acceptable today, and only 256 mb ram is not enough to be able to multitask.
Android is based on Linux and it is much better than Symbian, and MeeGo can maybe be as good as Android but its constant delays indicate problems with MeeGo. Nokias only chance to compete against the markets top phones from HTC and Samsung is to abandon the Symbian failiure. Nokia fans are even more blind and fanatic than IPhone-fans.
