Nokia continues its Symbian push with its latest Nokia 500. It's quite like the C5-03 but with a 1GHz flare.

Ii also got a shitty 3310 too once upon a time. Symbian, my n80 was faster than what i ve been shown too.

Stop your random knownledge and buy an Android device, not everything is loaded/cached on ram systematically, even in worst cases, it doesn't take that big second to display a dialpad, bottom of the line.

                Being a symbian device with 1Ghz processor inside i think this is a fastest smartphone on earth. I know androids with dual cores also lagg because of the monster bulky OS..

And plus the only reason it's fast on Android, it keeps it in the ram. Keep this in ram and see how it goes. Use a Symbian device and then talk. My 3310 beats all those dual cores you favor when it comes to dial pad speed. Also, it loads snake much faster than any dual core.

                    You just troll.

                      Off course i know it's not a final UI since it's not legit on n8s but you wanted to do some justice showing us that, so here you go.

                      If you see this as a troll instead of a simple notice, here's a real troll : my K810i and my S8300 Tocoo Ultra, display the dialpad faster than your Belle UI on your 680Mhz phone.

How many device are running Android from Samsung, HTC, etc and how many WP7. It's too closed for Symbian/Maemo lovers. Where is mass storage mode, have to convert videos and yet all codecs are supported on N8, even matroska. It'll suck ass and just turn Nokia into a MS OEM.
