Shame, because Nokia phones were once good, and now are just mediocre…

@Maj @Jeff, Really? No stuttering? I get it all the time, with barely any services running on my G1. Grrrrrrr.

If I could work out why it happens to me, I’d be a happy bunny.

Nokia is not going to take a U-Turn to Antroid as they have already invested too much in Symbian Foundation.. But they must think switching to Android if they want to dominate the smartphone market . They believe in driving straight and thats not always right..

never had an mp3 stutter…one of the things i love about the g1 is being able to stream netcasts while browsing the web then take a call in the middle of it with no problems

Nokia’s problem was that Sony Ericsson had the far better Symbian platform with ‘UIQ’. UIQ was a feature rich platform touch-screen platform that Android still cannot match (nor the Iphone for that matter). Real multitasking (don’t talk to me about my mp3’s stuttering when I browse the web on my G1), great battery life, compatibility with all bluetooth standards, syncml, plus real cut and paste (not just from specific fields like Android). I could go on, lol.

If Sony Ericsson had the mountains of cash that Google, Apple and Nokia have, things might be very different now…

It’s not surprising, but unfortunate. Symbian has never gotten a lot of attention, it’s very stable and has a long line of third party apps, but no one has ever bragged or been proud about having a symbian phone, unlike the iPhone/Pre/Android.

I quickly upgrade my phone from a Nokia to the G1 without hesitation. Symbian & Windows mobile platforms are in the dark ages compared to Android

Competition is good! :D

I have always liked Symbian phones, they are good solid hardware (at least the ones I’ve owned), there are a metric boatload of apps out there for it, and the OS is very stable.

As for Palm, the Pre is a wonderful piece of hardware. But what are the people who spent $100s going to do when their Pre wears out and the next OS for Palm is Wind Mobile? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve used the Palm OS and I like it too, but it’s going away.

Well competition is good for the market, and even better for the consumer. :D

symbian is stupid what is even more stupid is the samsung ui and winmo i think all these people should turn their phones to android

Symbian is getting old, you just know they have a couple of guys in one of the engineering shops in the back playing with porting some android phones.
