Symbian uses less resource than Android, you have to accept that. Can android run on 256RAM, 600Mhz?

Videos keep playing even when you minimize the player and do other stuff with the phone. The native player though doesn't have that functionality. But who would want their videos continue playing in the background when you're not watching them? it's pointless.

              Those of you that say Symbian has a real multitasking, I have a question, can Symbian play a video file in the background, something like a divx movie? The answer is no! So how is that a real multitasking, you can't do that with Android either btw, cause it does not have a background audio support, you can only do it on the iPhone.

                    I would like to know the Belle update is only for the Nokia phones that are mentioned in the post? I have Nokia E5 will it be possible to update it to Belle OS?

You open an app, minimize the app, open another app, minimize that other app, when you go to your previous opened app, it's there. You can do it with many apps as you want. All of them can run in the background simultaneously.

If you do it will bring you true multi-taksing. If you don't, it may close some of the apps in background.
