          you have to go for N8 or any Nokia phones or Apple or Motorola ;).

          But anyway i got your point, and my view is that
          symbian phones are more stable than Samsung ( irrespective of android or bada os)

                        till now nobody in nokia india knows about the exact release date but expected to release after 25 sept or may be 1 week of october for sure..
                        i havent used nokia"s touch phones,
                        but i didnt like the sim card slot feature..
                        my last nokia phone was nokia n96,
                        at that tyme options were not available..
                        wt a waste of money i did..

                        but specs say this will be a hit and surely will be..
                        as i said black and silver are sure colours..
                        green may come by this week..
                        not sure abt blue or orange...
                        even im interested in only orange one..
                        will look pretty attractive in hand..
                        green is smwhere girlish typo..
                        blue looks pretty dull..

                          But the Galaxy S is a good phone it beated that Crappel Iphone hahaha.
                          But SamSung will bring new Symbian phones on the market, because i think they see some major improvements in Symbian4.

                                i've given up on nokia when they released N97 .. the software was very poor, why even bother releasing a crappy phone(N97) I paid 600$ USD for a so called "Flagship Phone." Com'on Nokia?! seriously?!you expect people to still buy this phone?
                                After what you've made out of the N97, it's time to move on people don't waste your time buying Nokia Phones there are better Phones out there that's worth your cash, don't waste your money on this one ..
