              [deleted post]Why are they predicting 20% for WP in a few years then? That doesn't sound very dead to me.

                ChilL. If you hate something, just ignore. Dont need to degrade the OS.

                      vasra, 10 May 2011Doesn't look very different apart from the widget sizes. ... moreAndroid bloatware means that it cannot do without a super fast processor. Symbian is much more efficient and less of a memory hog.

                      There's nothing slow about my N8. Only full Flash is slow. And who honestly buys a phone solely for full Flash? Data streaming video constantly through it, costs a fortune, and can easily go over your fair usage agreement.

                      Flash is only useful for watching porn on the go, or getting your browser hijacked.

                            Why are we still discussing symbian? Symbian is dead, Nokia is replacing it by WP7. Who cares what the new UI looks like, it has no future...

                                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpGHgkKgQ3o
                                it clearly shows that n8 isnt any slower, even faster than android
                                even the reviews agree that the ui is snappy (read it here on gsmarena)

                                so, that nonsense is just a result of misinformation

Symbian is a very efficient OS that relies on software optimization for the most part. When the Qt-based UI already kicks in, the UI will be as fluid and fast just like the other OSes.

                                      So many promisses. But takes so long to almost never deliver. Something tells me we won't be seeing this homescreen till Q1~Q2 of 2012..

                                        Saw these couple of days ago, and I strongly think they are not the "New" home screen but just the website interface.
