Nokia has lost one of its biggest supporters and loyal followers in me. I kept waiting for the C6 to release for over four months now, and every month the launch gets delayed even more. Nokia Inda @ twitter says it will be launched in October. Nokia concept store in ambience, gurgaon says it might be december. Now reviews coming in say its bad, a "dabba" phone, lagging Ui, old symbian. I bought a samsung galaxy 3, and by jove does it fly!! and its cheaper than the bulky c6, with much much more advanced features. It's entertainment meet style meet office.
Very badly played nokia, very badly played. I had been using nokia phones exclusively for the last EIGHT years, five phones in total. And this is my first purchase out of the nokia stable, and I was a little saddened in breaking my association with nokia, but now with the galaxy 3, I am actually happy I made the shift.

Android vs Symbian

The Sym­bian OS(operating sys­tem) has been around for years with Sym­bian v9 being launched in 2005. That was around the same time that Android was acquired by Google, only to be announced some time in 2007 and released on the G1 in 2008. I’m going to cut to chase here, Android is over-hyped and that is prob­a­bly it’s great­est weakness.

The whole idea of these mobile phone oper­at­ing sys­tems like Win­dows Mobile, Sym­bian and Android, made by soft­ware com­pa­nies, is to accel­er­ate time to mar­ket and reduce devel­op­ment costs. Sil­i­con mak­ers also tai­lor their chips for these OSs based on their capabilities/features, so it’s eas­ier for phone man­u­fac­tur­ers to develop devices with these pop­u­lar OSs.

Now the deal with Android is that there’s a lot of hype sur­round­ing it. Hype that pro­motes lazi­ness on the part of phone mak­ers to a point where it’s okay to just slap the stock OS as it is, untouched. When look­ing at the line of Android devices, you can’t help but notice that they are extremely sim­i­lar. That’s because of this hype fac­tor; peo­ple are happy enough with a device just because it has Android because Android is ‘cool’. On the other hand, HTC does try to put a lot more effort on their Android devices with their Sense UI, but that’s only HTC. The hype-effect goes beyond just the user inter­face — hardware-wise Android devices haven’t offered any­thing new. Many peo­ple expected the Nexus One would be a rev­o­lu­tion­ary device. It has pow­er­ful hard­ware and… that’s about it.

For Sym­bian, it’s a dif­fer­ent story. Man­u­fac­tur­ers are forced to come up with not only inno­v­a­tive soft­ware, but inno­v­a­tive hard­ware as well to com­pli­ment it. When you think about it, almost all Sym­bian devices have cus­tom inter­faces. Sam­sung has the clever Touch Wiz UI which is spread­ing to other plat­forms, the Sony Eric­s­son phones, the Satio and the Vivaz have cus­tom UIs with the Vivaz tak­ing advan­tage of the accelerom­e­ter with it’s ani­mated wall­pa­pers. Nokia also has the panel of wid­gets for its user inter­face on the n97 devices.

When it comes to inno­v­a­tive hard­ware, the S60v3 Sam­sung i8510 was the first to mar­ket with an 8MP cam­era and the S60v5 Satio was the first with a 12MP and the s60v5 i8910 was the first touch screen phone with an AMOLED dis­play just to name a few. There are also many cus­tom appli­ca­tions that man­u­fac­tures build in to their Sym­bian devices so that they are bet­ter and dif­fer­ent. Take the Omnia HD for instance. It has a cus­tom search fea­ture, music player, com­mu­ni­ties social app, pod­cast­ing app, cus­tom hand­writ­ing recog­ni­tion, cus­tom cam­era inter­face, thor­ough codec sup­port, cus­tom media gallery, busi­ness card reader, Sam­sung LBS nav­i­ga­tion and inte­grated DSNe 2.0 tech­nol­ogy for bet­ter audio just to name a few. It’s packed right out of the box. When it comes to fea­tures, Sym­bian devices set the stan­dard; they paves the way for other plat­forms to follow.

So, what did Android bring to the table for mobile devices? Noth­ing. It’s just another mobile oper­at­ing sys­tem but with the back­ing of one the biggest and most cre­ative com­pa­nies around, Google. This could be the rea­son why peo­ple get excited; when Google is behind some­thing, they usu­ally do it very well. Unfor­tu­nately, there’s a heavy reliance on stock Android to do every­thing, mak­ing the prod­uct mak­ers relax on cre­ativ­ity and focus on just releas­ing that ‘Android device’.
