Nokia utterly fail at touch screen phones.

Symbian needs to be killed off asap. Android is just so much better in every single way.

The n900 is only 2 :P

I meant 6mm, been away on hols and only had my desire for company, typos aplenty

It still stands that the N900 is over 3x thicker than the Galaxy S.

As is iTunes and pretty much every PC Sync app. HTC Sync is pretty light and simple but it hardly does anything. OTA Cloud Syncing is the way to go these days

I've tried explaining this for the benefit of inq but he doesn't get the idea that it's Nokia's software on a phone that gives the experience.

I have had symbian phones, symbian is awful in comparison to modern smartphone OS's, until nokia use a decent OS they are screwed in the smartphone space. Anyone who says a phone with symbian is a serious smartphone doesnt know a decent smartphone if it hit them on the nose.

Is just an example of how bad symbian is, doesn't matter if the phone has the best hardware in the world if the OS and UI suck as badly as symbian does.

Symbian is one of the most advanced and well optimised OS for mobiles out there. It's technically more than capable of keeping up with the likes of Android, however the UIs have been piss poor, hardware caught short and the platforms development has been handled extremely poorly.

well optimized? it was not even close to well optimized on my x-N97...laggy piece of sh1te

As i didn't seem to make myself clear i'm talking about the core OS. It still surprises me the amount of self confessed phone fanatics that don't understand the basic difference between the OS and the UI e.g. symbian, s60 , s^3 etc.

Symbian is actually quite a good OS. It definitley had/has the potential to out Android but it suffers from being shipped with poor hardware (465MHz CPU on Nokia phones shared from 5230 up to the N97) and horrible clunky UIs that just don't work on anything with a touchscreen. That and the fact it's almost completely stagnant when it comes to development. The Ovi store is a farce that works 1/10 times and when it does it's a pain to use. It's a great OS but it just hasn't been cared for properly.

Nokia Own Trolltech/QT too so I do believe they've plans in the future for nice UI's.
