                Well said mish,

                "Camera face detection,folder on home screen,facial unlock,multitasking all sound too much symbian to me.Google is still following and copying from Symbian and like apple claiming it to be new features"

                                AnonD-22477, 20 Oct 2011Well Android is linux based open source Os U can Easily mod... moreBelle has been in development for ages, get real. Remember the Symbian^4 project??? Android is a pure copy and has nothing to do with Linux, just a fraction of it's kernel, it's java actually. Android copied swype from MeeGo Harmattan, tap in a blurred space to exit an app from Maemo 5, widgets, homescreens and notification area from S60v5 and all Maemo OS versions. Symbian has had BT 3.0 for a while and N9 is the first device with BT 4.0, iPhone 4s is second. Nokia is still first with NFC, GPS, etc.

                                    It smashes Ibot 4S!
