Anonymous, 06 May 2009your facts really not impressive at all i gave you real fa... more"thats a basis and not a kiddy basis of yours like,
"10 years in the business blah blah", "more people uses it blah blah!" better office blahblah!" haha common!! hell give me KNOWLEDGABLE(spelling) facts! not highschool like stuff!"

well KNOWLEDGEABLE* facts are:
1- "and yes more people uses symbian because its already 10 years old vs 2 years old.. make sense again?? you see its really ridiculous basis of yours."

Windows Mobile is just a new name of windows CE that have been released and developing since 1996. so 13 years, so 10 Vs 13 Symbian win

2- won't argue with your first point, no one can say a successful system is more secure that the other, cause the dominated system will always have more people attempting to attack and make viruses for it. its just like saying linux or mac is more secure than windows cuz it has less viruses, if linux/mac were the dominated systems most hacker/programmers will make the viruses on then and will try to find security flaws on them not windows, they want their virus to hit the biggest amount of peaple.

3- "Processor speeds of Symbian devices are quite low but |||our tests||| shown that the Windows platform performs better on a like processor. On a 200MHz processor" "our test"? who did the test i thought you want KNOWLEDGEABLE facts. i did not see such a test but if their is one that compares the 2 on 200 processor , please the link. hence most mobile users don't care about your cpu for programs its a mobile phone not a P.C.

4- "new applications cannot readily run on Symbian devices developers will be more attracted to Windows Mobile."
developers choose what system they want to develop to, "new applications" i can make a program that runs on whatever system i want. you write your own code not the OS.

5- "symbian is not fully equipped with every function you need for comfortable email and Internet use"
"comfortable" who defines that? the user. not you alone. symbian mail functions is more than i need, so thats in the end upto the user, there is no KNOWLEDGEABLE facts for this.

6- "it has personal computer capabilities on mobile handsets."
oh then why develop WinMo? can use windows XP, it does not have all personal computer capabilities maybe some , so does symbian. handsets are mini PCs that have all the main parts of a P.Cs.

    Killersmith, 05 May 2009So, what point does the guy have?? Coz i didnt see any, may... moreYou call these facts? lol your a joke

    Fact1: Symbian has about 100 customisable components which makes it the most flexible software..
    NOT TRUE DO SOME REAL RESEARCH Lil boy

    Fact2: Symbian is in the business for 10years more than windows. Windows has just(2years or so) entered mobile world which is different from pc's..
    NOT TRUE.. Windows Mobile entered in 2000 Lil boy

    Fact3: symbian has support for office documents(word, excel, pdf, powerpoint) even editing.(free for e-series and charged for others) as opposed to wht your friend said...
    TRUE AGREED... For most u got to pay for it!!!

    Fact4: 80% people prefer symbian over other mobile os's for the ease of MULTITASKING and user friendlyness.
    NOT SO TRUE, Symbian does have a high number of customers but 80%...lol, i see u like to make your own statistics a bit higher than it should lol

    So, the guy has point when he says that winmo is for proffesionals and symbian is for kids?????
    WELL...NOT REALLY, he went too far with that one...

    Ok i'll give you one more chance...tell me a few things that ur winmo can do but symbian cant. (please dnt be foolish enough to mention applications).
    APPLICATIONS u right, .... LOL, WinMo can even mimick a Symbian OS or IPhone

            Killersmith, 05 May 2009So, what point does the guy have?? Coz i didnt see any, may... moreyour facts really not impressive at all
            i gave you real facts that windows has better internet, email capabilities than symbian. windows has pc-like functionality than a symbian, and thats already enough to determine windows is better, and your facts isnt acceptable to make people convince symbian is better. how the hell is "10 years in the business" enough for you to say its better? thats the fact, its already 10years old and its not dominating the 2 year old windows.. make sense? and yes more people uses symbian because its already 10 years old vs 2 years old.. make sense again?? you see its really ridiculous basis of yours.
            but i will give you another real smart basis that will finish the game.

            1.Microsoft's operating system for 'smart phones', the Windows Mobile Phone Edition, is more secure and more efficient than the Symbian platform. We need efficiency and the Symbian platform is not really designed for that. Windows Mobile is quite a bit more efficient and has fewer overheads in those areas. Also, with memory management there are much better options in Windows Mobile to manage and isolate application memory.

            2.Processor speeds of Symbian devices are quite low but tests shown that the Windows platform performs better on a like processor. On a 200MHz processor, core functions we need for real time audio performed better on the Windows platform than they did on Symbian.

            3.new applications cannot readily run on Symbian devices developers will be more attracted to Windows Mobile.

            4.symbian is not fully equipped with every function you need for comfortable email and Internet use, and it dont even have its own device-independent development platform. windows mobile is more of a business tool-phone, it has personal computer capabilities on mobile handsets.

            thats a basis and not a kiddy basis of yours like,
            "10 years in the business blah blah", "more people uses it blah blah!" better office blahblah!" haha common!! hell give me KNOWLEDGABLE facts! not highschool like stuff!

                              Then there are the Apps which are full on and hardcore, they just released Myst which is a 767Mb download, let's see you install that on Symbian!
