Symbian is pushed to mid section because nokia has a new OS in mind for the high end phones. If you know nokia, u would also know that nokia takes it slow and steady. Ever heard of the name MeeGo??
It would be a worthy opponent to Android when it comes out.
Wanna know nokia's investment in linux OS before? Type in "Nokia n900" in the search and see how it kicked the shit outta every phone out there when it was launched. Yes, i agree its outdated right now and no match for Froyo, but when MeeGo comes out, its gonna give even Gingerbread a run for its money...

what the best os. for handphone..????
nokia n8 vs samsung waveI think Bada OS with TouchWiz 3 is much better than symbian 3. Nokia said this will be their last flagship phone with symbian. So N8's OS is dead on arrival. What a great idea to announce it, nokia! xD
Basa is more stable and the UI (TouchWiz 3) is nice and useful.
Samsung's marketplace is steadily growing by the way. there are about 600 apps already. Perhaps Bada OS will be competitive after all :D

But Galaxy S costs 100€ more that wave and it doesn't have LED Flash. I played with a lot of apps on my N95 and it seemed a little boring. I have a laptop as my primary mobile device and I seldom use my smartphone to browse the internet. I needed a good Music player, video player and a top notch camera with flash and video light. The hardware is top. It's almost the same hardware as on the Iphone plus SuperAMOLED minus girosensor minus high definition.
For the price, 350€-400€, it's the best value for money on the market. You should read the review and decide if it meets your needs. I certainly don't regret buying this phone.
N8 looks good btw. Too bad it's 450+ € after the tax.

It has been running on now for 1 week and all is stable and well. The only gripes I have with it, is the somewhat short battery life (1 or 2 days with moderate to heavy use), and the sometimes inconsistent menu clicking behaviour (some items require double tapping). I like the keyboard though..
With respect to lagging. The only time I really have to wait for the phone to do something is when it is building thumbnails to view pictures in the camera folder (this takes a few seconds for 20+ photo's). Strangely, if you go to fullscreen view, the iPhone-like picture (and movie) scrolling is very fluent and fast..

Still, there were numerous complains... morein my experience with the n97 (i had it for about 4 months before losing it), the free c drive memory was about 40mb. you can install most apps on mass memory, but some apps (eg nokia messaging) has to be put on c memory. there are a few tips on how to maximise c memory (just google it), but at the end of the day it was a terrible decision from nokia to put so little c memory on a phone with 32gb of internale storage!

Oops, 13 mb of free memory seems to be incorrect. My bad. Still, there were numerous complains about the lack on free C:\ and about how the system quickly filled all the free space and needed a hard reset once in a while to regain space.
