For what its worth am back on Symbian Anna. I find it works great for me. I couldnt care much about a million apps on iOS. I dont use iTunes nor Google Calendar. Just my preference, I use mostly use... -psiloc World traveller (hotel booking, flights, Global WiFi, weather updates, trip planning, currency convertor, world clock), -Nokia Maps is awesome for Navigation (maps stored locally on device) and its pretty accurate An app i play with between destinations... -Nokia 3D world.. Cant explain, you gotta run the app to see what it can do http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/07/04/the-world-in-your-hands-with-nokia... Plus everything else I need to do. I am hoping to check out MeeGo (Nokia N9) when it comes out in a couple of weeks. http://swipe.nokia.com/ ----- "Kevin Omondi" <kevin.ouma@gmail.com> wrote:
Bw Washington,
Throwing in Symbian into this message thread is like budging into a discussion between 2 gentlemen comparing the pros and cons of the New Mercedes S Class vs The New Jaguar then you contribute with the merits of your Toyota probox.

Guys,
These are highly normative issues. There is nothing explicit about user experience... e.g. I hate the android keyboard. I'd rather have an iPhone 3GS than a HTC EVO 4G... That's my *opinion*. It's the classic Ubuntu vs FreeBSD vs Fedora argument. No one is wrong, no one is right. Some of these are tagged to a person's personality... I may prefer an iPhone because it will sync with iTunes. I may prefer an android phone because it syncs with my Google Calendar. At the end of the day, many of these arguments make for good humor but you'll never be right or wrong.
Simple example, my last experience with Android (Froyo) & iOS
-Android had SMS's limited to 200 per thread - this is unlimited in iOS. +1 for iOS. - Nothing to do with screen size/4G etc, a real irritation though. - iOS can't easily sync to my Google Calendar - get double entry's - +1 for Android - Android Keyboards are generally horrid to use - +1 for iOS. - Google integration makes it easy for Picasa etc +1 for Android. - Numerous free apps+1 for Android - Higher quality apps +1 for iOS.
Kindly note that I got rid of my android device because of contact syncing glitches and the keyboard - and my iOS device because of the poor battery life... It's all subjective!
@Phares,
So you are back to Symbian, like me? :)
