              I have to say that was an exciting presentation because it's exactly what Symbian needs.

              1. It's completely open source which is amazing because there will be many apps for it. Google Android is not 100% open source because Google control the GPS part of software with copyright protection.
              2. He said 3x faster than the current Symbian! Wow hopefully. Symbian was originally designed to be fast anyway but Nokia took that too far by using 424mhz processors and 128MB RAM on their phones like X6.
              3. Can you imagine something like Samsung Jet or Nokia 5900(rumoured) with Symbian 3? That would be something else...
              4. Google Android uses a lot of old Java technology which gives poor battery life. With the latest technology in Symbian 3, you should get 30-40% better battery life than latest Android.
              4. The one thing I hate about all mobile OS is the long shutter times on the cameras. It takes like 3 seconds to take a picture from the moment you press the button, by that time you missed the action. That's ridiculous, I hope GSMARENA start mentioning this in their reviews. Symbian 3 please be the first to sort this out!
              5. UI looks amazing, and fast and simple which is key.

                New iPhone OS, only that it's by Nokia. Lol, every dumbo company copies that Apples dumwit OS JUST! cause masses so adore it. Too sad that it will be superbuggy as always. Nothing can beat Sense not even over rated iPhone OS that beside flashy psyhics and web 2.0 styling(it's super easy to design it, really!) doesn't have anything basic, like say it widgets. New Symbian can compete only with 1st release of Omnias TouchWiz, and even then, that crappy buggy Omnia customization beats up Symbian OS. But who knows, in 5-6 years we might see Symbian equal to todays TouchFlo, Sense and TouchWiz....maybe..or? Ahh..forget it.

                  James Dang, 03 Dec 2009Nokia!! Please don't forget about the camera that stuck at ... more3.2/5/8 are fine they just need a more digi cam UI for the camera app more on screen options like digital cameras with touchscreen and improve on the apeture for all 3 and a 3rd gen LED well dual since it's as bright as zenon
                  And rewrite the touch coding for the screen so it responds better and same with the accelorometer

                        Nokia!! Please don't forget about the camera that stuck at 5 megapixel resolution. Please!!! Please!!!! upgrate it to a good 8 or 12 megapixel camera with a good digital zoom (like in Samsung phone) or a good optical zoom ( not like the worse one like in Nokia N93)

                          wow this actually looks like something

                          So Maemo and Symbian will look identical.

                                now thats really interesting. great move. i also never had any problems or complaints about the symbian platform, but yes the touch interface and everything related was no doubt a pain in the neck. but since now they are evolving and we already have here some shots of the new UI etc, its surely gonna be the a wonderful thing, if not the best.

                                thanks NOKIA, you do connect people :)
