Unless you’re developing apps that are global in scale or you’re doing client work, you should be focusing on Symbian (or Samsung’s Bada OS in some countries). It’s where the numbers are.&quot;</span></b></div>

<div>I did buy an Android device - Samsung Galaxy 5 and personally, its disappointing as compared to my iPhone. My first rant was the lack of a virtual qwerty keyboard and the virtual keypad is a serious turnoff, and the OS isn&#39;t smooth like the iOS, so to the fans, I still think Android has a long way to usability - much like the Symbian and iOS<br>
