Anonymous, 14 Oct 2009UNIX is open source, no apple OS is open source.
It's li... moreThe same Mac OS X which was certified as UNIX by the standards body which certifies UNIX, that Mac OSX?
The one that is in the iPhone?
Are you really that incapable of understanding the meaning of the site I linked to?
UNIX is NOT open source.
Symbian is Symbian whether it is version 6, 7 or whatever just like Windows is Windows whether it's 3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2K, XP, Vista or 7 (Vista attempt 2).
You can't change history no matter how much you and the other Nokia sheep would like to.

And calling iPhone firmware - UNIX is like calling
Psion - symbian or symbian - UIQ.
All of theese are totally different OSes.
How much psion do you think there is in symbian?
Just as much unix there is in iPhone firmware.
You answer your own questions but without noticing.

It's like saying plasma tv's are based on CRT tv's because they're both tv's, that's ignorance.
As for P800 both nokia and sony owned most of symbian but both went they're separate ways.
"June 1998 - Symbian is established as a private independent company and is owned by Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Psion"
Sony went for touch right form the start and hence resulted UIQ that started as an UI customisation.
Sony and Motorola have failed...
As for "that" symbian, it's really like comparing windows 3.1 with windows 7.
How could anyone use windows 7 when we're to think at 3.1?
In one thing you are right, I should stop comparing an advanced OS like psion/symbian wich has almost 30 years of evolution and has touched the most advanced mobile devices in history to the silly iPhone OS that was made by taking MACos and stuffing it into a phone.
Now all the great minds wonder why the battery doesn't last...

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2009I don't need aircon, it uses more gas. And if I want fresh ... moreDont do it not today? Am sure that 9 out of 10 drivers would rather have air con, should you not put air con in a car cause one person might not use it? I think not, the fact is everyone is using it so you try to please the majority. Bluetooth is simple and convenient to use and MMS maybe more advance and very welcome but everyone is using bluetooth. I will never understand why the iphone cant bluetooth. It is a standard on almost every phone now a days. This phone is not as good as the phones coming out now a days. But what makes this phone look so good is the apps store and Apple's marketing team.

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2009P800 is not symbian, it's UIQ wich is a heavy modification ... moreP800 not Symbian?
Maybe you'd better bone up on the real history of Symbian before Nokia sanitises it:-
2000 November - The world's first Symbian OS phone, the Ericsson R380 Smartphone, ships.
2002 March - Symbian OS powered Sony Ericsson P800 Smartphone announced.

I hadn't realized just how effective Nokia's brainwashing was.

So there is "no trace of UNIX in OSX or iPhone OS"?
So how do you explain this then?

Regarding your other comments, what you don't seem to grasp is that if you have an iPhone you don't have to transfer photo's to a PC and spend "all day" uploading photo's to Flickr with an iPhone it takes seconds, hence the popularity based on in simplicity in completing complex tasks, which although not apparent on the surface shows the power of the underlying UNIX based OS.

Don't see any stray in this page (by me) as for the topics we're now on:
"Comment of the specification"
I was trying to get why iPhone is above 5800 and the answers I got were:
because
because we say so
because apple says so
because smart people use it
So judging the specs I still haven't found any justification fot the 300$ extra iPhone costs off-contract.

we are iPhone users we're proud with that & willing to live it as our choice the moment we spent our money on this phone.
To all iPhone users :
Try ignoring those hot headed other brand users,jealousy is obvious i can smell it here.
Geez you all need to grow up..!!!

Who knows what evil viruses might spread wildly over bluetooth, how many bank accounts robbed since everyone uses iPhone banking and poor cachexic (google this one) paris hilton starving because you sent one of her mp3s to your friend.

For the last time Bluetooth file transfer is not enabled for security reasons. Same reason Android doesnt have file transfer!
And the whole BMW aircon comment is absolutely irrelevant, were talking about phones. The only feature I can think of thats missing is Bluetooth file transfer, and i explained that above.

As for Flickr I can tell you that when I was in highschool we had other methods of photosharing, but the point is I haven't uploaded a pic of me my wife, my children in years because I actually work all year long with 2 weeks vacation.
Do you really think I sit all day uploading photos? Or do you think I should take pics of me or my colleagues in the filter and post them on the web?
