Nice OS for low end phones. Symbian is out of the race in the high end smartphone category. Symbian has gone down.......

        tacktick, 16 Jan 2010They could have changed that fugly nokia font for the begin... moreSince it's so hard to change the font on a Nokia. Wait, it isn't.
        I installed a program or "app" as most morons call them now and then I downloaded a font. I selected the font and restarted the phone, and poof: a new font.

        Some people just live for bashing others.

          Anonymous, 16 Jan 2010Symbian 2,3,4? Why not just come up with unified UI?And you apparently can't read, or even understand the R&D process.
          you certainly didn't read or understand that all those are steps towards a unified UI. Or have you forgotten how long it took Android to even come close to a nice UI. Only in version 2 has Android come up with an interface that's nice enough for most people. And Apple is already at version 3 and doesn't even have multitasking.

            This actually looks pretty sweet for being Symbian. Symbian usually bores me and is to stiff, but this looks really nice.

            Dani is a funny Mactard character, he says Nokia copied iPhone... When in fact Apple is now gonna have to pay Kodak for stealing their look. On top of that Apple stole the iPhone concept from the LG Prada.

            I think Iphone is pretty good phone, but u can't help but laugh at iApples like Dani.

            My Blackberry 9700 rocks!

                        To me the look isn't a problem when when comes to a Symbian phone, I personally own 5+ of those from SE and Nokia, the biggest problem I have which really really really pissed me off and annoys me is the app cert issues: any app could or will be expired if not regularly renewed...

                        This is the biggest bull cr*p I've ever heard for a smart phone. I have no freaking ideas why Nokia/symbian wants to regulate the application library, may be they can make some money off those apps while the creator renew the cert.? I don't know meh...

                        Most importantly, 90% of free apps online doesn't work on many symbian phones in regards to the version; if you want to crack/hack your phone to make it work you WILL damage your phone up to certain level, say, I lost my 3G connectivity on my US 5800, now I only have Edge, thanks greedy Symbian, i will still use you cause you are faster but just wait and see...

                          If im not mistaken that same gallery u are saying Nokia is copying from Apple is the one Apple is getting sued from Kodack for steeling ;)

                              Its good to see not seeing the first post as "first".. haha.. anyways, the interface loooks kinda dull, but I bet because its black. I'm sure it will further improve.

                                those screenshots look so sad. It's sadder to see how Nokia is eagerly trying to BECOME a real potential competitor to other mobile OS's (i.e. Android OS, iPhone OS etc.). Very soon they'll be replaced and be no longer on the top spot. Just wait and see!

                                  Dani, 16 Jan 2010They have copied the iPhone once again, that Photo gallery ... moreDani, you do realize that Nokia have been around making phones long before Apple ever even thought about phones. Furthermore Apple has used lots of patented technology that Nokia invented, with Nokia you would not have your precious iPhone.

                                  Dont get me wrong here, I have been very annoyed with Nokia for a good year now, for not keeping up with the times. But lets be fair and even , your comments are complete rubbish and you really do come across as a complete Apple fan boy.

                                  By the way I love Apple, I am even typing this response on a MacBook.

                                    yes, i'm afraid Nokia is going down big time. They just don't have the answers for the future. I'm really a symbian fan, but the next phone will probably be an Android. Graphically symbian is totally getting behind the competition. Too bad:)

                                      NOKIA STOP COPYING!
                                      all you do is add new themes to other OS's designs!
