        The quantity is nothing, there are many apps completely unworthy. Better less numbers but higher quality - graphics, functionality, completion, etc. I'm using Android phone, but apps for iOS looks much more attractive.

              Sorry but i sold out and moved to Apple on Saturday. so far every app that i have downloaded works and the UI is super. i just plain got fed up of the lag the Force closing the lack of games and the crappy store and the lack of a good place to find music and check on Artist.
              The frag issue did my head in (anyone still waiting for 2.2)

              Yes i know there has been a big issue on open and closed but i dont care about that. i just want to listen to music and play some games where it isnt going to drain my battery and wont lag. Apple is simply just more professional

Its just bada is very young, but i do think that one day it will catch android (if not catch then get closer to it) Because the potencial of bada is very good (in my opinion) :)

                                    Apple's App store has a free ad supported version of Angry Birds, personally I'd rather pay 99c for no ads.

                                      Because apps are spread out over the web, most don't work because they are made for a different version of symbian, and Ovi store sucks balls. Oh and symbian phones don't have the power to run complex apps.

                                      The fact that android has 100k and iPhone has 300k apps pretty much underlines the fact that symbian is dead. Who wants to develop apps for a dead platform?
