Currently in the realm of non-touchscreen smartphones Symbian is a very robust and powerful os as demonstrated in Nokia's well designed e series. In the touchscreen realm maemo and symbian will continue to exist.

its useless, nothing amazing, at least in WinMo the HTC ui is WOW even if the os is garbage for now Symbian isn't any better"
Then the question is "Why did you stick with symbian smartphones then?

SYMBIAN........
Nokia is so deep in symbian that one wonders if they can ever let go.
Even samsung says they are not ready to let symbian go.

Anonymous, 20 Nov 2009nokia where much further ahead, when the N97 came out with ... moreI'm pissed about that as well they make the N97 mini with the same screen size as 5800 and widgets home screen with kinetics and then thd 5530 has full kinetics
And then the 5800 is left with shabby updates i hope v32.x will have that but the update will be a big one for sure 300mb maybe
But nokia is not far back at all maemo 5/6 and N900 and the New Nseries line are and will be the biggest game changer in mobile history
I'm getting one myself
I'm a power user and security guard
So i need the GPS,qwerty for texting and writing logs and reports and to surf on the net for what fake IDs look like

Deep space bar, 20 Nov 2009WinMo OS is failing they need a refresh and nokia is ahead ... morenokia where much further ahead, when the N97 came out with a enhanced homescreen, something that actually had usefull widgets and not just shortcuts they were on a good pace
and promised all that would happen for 5800... yea we did't even get kinetic scrolling or any of the custom homescreens..
we need to hack the 5800 just to get the 5530 homescreen.. wait because thats a "XpressMusic" phone rite and the 5800 isn't?
nokia whatever they were are now far behind, much further than anyone else..
even Moto's Droid looks like a contender

Anonymous, 20 Nov 2009Hope Symbian Foundation allowed to upgrade OS.. from Symbia... moreThey have no choice but to do a huge UI and OS overhaul s60 5th is fine but could use less RAM when booted up and in generally speaking nokia need to have 256+ RAM to sustain Symbian and Maemo 128 is not enough and the ARM 11 can stay for non touch model but touch need high clock speed ARM 11 or A8 cortex at 600+ mhz and nokia needs a team to work on the touch coding for better response from the resesitive screens

Plus Omnia HD looks like a cheese cutting board lol
This brick of a phone is a tablet/smartphone hybrid so yes it will be big and the reason SPACE for the circutry so the phone wont heat up so bad ........eg. Iphone look what happened ...exploding screens and over heating batteries cause of no space inside the phone and poor build quality

Nokia should drop symbian altogether the os is s....t, they should have learned buy now there symbian OS cant be compared to Windows Mobile or Google's Android.
MESSAGE TO Nokia Corp, You make great phones but s.....ty OS, give the customer an option of WinMo, Google Andriod or Maemo.
If the N97 came with windows mobile it would have been the best phone out there, But has for me it belongs to SAMSUNG OMNIA PRO 7610 THE BEST PHONE OUT THERE.

Nokia said 18/11/2009 they are not going to ditch symbian. This was just a small rumor that turned into a big nonsense deal.
