          Saber, 19 Nov 2009Who tell symbian suck?Show me u r face rude.s60 is overall.... mores60 market is quite different from any other market,you got that right..it's soo outdated compared to Android and Mac,they did miserable job implementing symbian in touchscreen,laggy and odd logic input,so dull non responsive interface when nokia made it in 5800,or even N97 is worse,considering the premium price that you must pay only to get a the worst touchscreen interface phone,samsung did better job with symbian & touchscreen,in fact old winmo 6.1 is better than symbian..just stick with keypad if you ain't got no Hi-tech or skill for touchscreen UI,don't make people as guinea pig like you did with your pathetic 5800 and N97.

            N97 mini is a QUAD BAND phone, right?

            sucks, eh?

            Depends on the user. Don't blame the company.

              A phone that has so many features was boud to win.
              Check this out and simply count how many of the features counted here are present in N97 while they keep missing in other "popular" brands: http://tiny.cc/iPhone337

              The i8910 would have been the rightful winner if samsung wouldn't have #$%& up the whole advertising campain and then release the phone with that AWFUL AMR codec.
              Either ways the way to the i8910 ROM is FREE and not only have the bugs been fixed but now the customisation is beyond anyones imagination. The coolest parts of other S60 V5 (5800, N97, SATIO, X6) are now beeing implemented at will :D

              Too bad samsunf for coming so early and yet so late:(

                      Aparadektos, 19 Nov 2009How on earth this phone won over devices like OMNIA 2 and H... moreMany reasons contributed to failing examination. It is not the volume you write that will make you pass.

                      Nokia mobile phones remain on top and ahead of others mobile phones for now in terms of functionalities, durability, easy to use, battery performance, that is the original battery, internet connectivity, etc.

                      Go and buy Nokia product and see for yourself. We all should be objective in our criticisms.

                          In Asia countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, even around Middle East mostly the Nokia is known for the best handsets, for few points that goes to lower-end users.
                          1. the cost of handsets, not talking about the high-end phones but phones that are there just to make calls.

                          2. Their built quality according to the users is very strong that they don't break even by throwing around.

                          3. They are simple to use, I never used one so I can't tell.

                          4. They have some low price sets which users can change the body cover and there are many body available for them, fancy stuff for large number of people.

                          So obviously they get vote for having great number of users, no mater what type of handsets they use all they know a word "Nokia"

                            Congrats Nokia, you won award of the cheapest and now you rule asia. And symbian realy sucks, winmo looks crap but it is so much more powerful than symbian that is not even proper OS, it is like java, lol.

Nokia doesn't buy prizes and votes, they win cause people buy Nokia and then vote. You really think a company that alone has more shares in the world market than the other top 5 put together needs to buy awards? They won it cause more then 70% of the people in Asia uses Nokias, and are evidentely very happy with their choice.

                                  And for the record, i use a Blackberry 9700 Bold, so no taking sides here, just pointing out the obvious.

                                      How on earth this phone won over devices like OMNIA 2 and HTC HD 2??
                                      What this phone has over the performers of Apple, HTC and Samsung??
                                      Any innovation, any strong point over them?? Because on the papers it seems surclassed, with half the battery, CPU, RAM, HDD, everything!

                                      It is really sad to see that the "brand name" still is the ONLY criterion, when rating phones and awarding some prizes.
                                      Nokia doesnt even have to keep up with their competitors anymore...
                                      They just buy such such competition and the ignorant public opinion applauds them...

                                      Thank God though, that there are some relatively objective sites, like this one and the ones who care, can be properly informed.

                                      The rest will just buy NOKIA, because they are the best, for no particular reason...
