Re: Bye bye, Symbian!

Symbian is like that old faithful dog, it used to be really good but as it got older and younger dogs ran rings around it it wanted to show it's master it still had a few tricks up its sleeve (cf. touch screens). It never quite pulled it off but you pitied it and patted it well done anyway (well I did - I got the Nokia 5230, great phone for battery life/GPS, naff for apps).

Symbian is imho the most bug free and secure platform, something which Android and Windows can't hold a candle to... shame that it looks so dated and it's UI behaviour is so peculiar (esp. with app locations, configuration etc.).
