[QUOTE="Winston, post: 2673579, member: 306103"] It's really just personal preference. As you said, Symbian will fit you. For some people, other platforms fits them. For me personally, I prefer Android. I was once a Symbian user but hated it a lot to the point that I switched to Android. Because of the hardware that Android phones now provides, they are actually faster than Symbian (Nokia to blame?). Symbian to me felt unresponsive (the old UI was to blame), buggy and not to mention slow and only now (after they announced their change), they bring a UI update it but now it looks too similar to Android making me wonder why I should use Symbian when Android can do the same but has more apps. The thing I liked about Symbian though was probably how it had themes and stock Symbian has FM radio while stock Android doesn't. Although, my one isn't stock so I get most of the features that I had with Symbian. I can't say that it will be the greatest OS now that Nokia is ditching Symbian in the near future so they can focus on Windows Phone. Plus, they are now only putting Symbian only on the low-end to mid-range handsets while their best high-end handsets (like the Lumia series) will run on Windows Phone. But again, we have our own preferences. You like Symbian, I like Android. You should choose whatever fits you more. In my opinion, Symbian would've been great if Nokia placed the effort in the past few years and made it feel refreshing and feel rewarding to the user as well as making it easier and improve everything like performance and come out with super innovative features. But what did they do instead during that time? Come out with the same old boring slow unresponsive hard to use UI with the exact same features on different handsets that were almost identical to each other which made them decline and only now they start changing...
