    Symbian is great but it has a great catch-up to do to be on par with or better than Android. Nokia is to blame wholly for the platform’s stutterings. If not for anything, they wrote the obituary far before it can kick the bucket. Hell no! The beauty of any OS is apps and they made sure Symbian had almost none. I want to play PES 12 HD, ASPHALT HEAT, NOVA, REAL SPEED 2 etc but i don’t see that ever happening. I have mixed feelings with FP1. I enjoy it’s fluidity and better widgets, that is it, but its poor battery life, stripping off of installer’s ‘app already exist, replace?’ notification pop up during installation, inability to move/copy file from file manager’s search result, occassional freezing software, slow app launch time (circle loading animation can sometimes frustrate) and a few glitches here and there made me realise symbian’s bleak future. Let’s hope that FP2 or Carla (whichever they’ll be releasing) comes with a lot of pros and little, if possible, not con, that way, i’ll keep investing in symbian because although Android is more open and has better app count, Symbian to me is still the best mobile OS out there. Runs almost perfectly well on old 680 MHz (recently 1 GHz) ARM 11 CPU, and 256 MB (recently 512 MB) of RAM which no other mobile OS can do. Bring an Android device with similar specs and price bracket with my 603 and lets which will handle operations in snail pace.
    NOKIA, instead of killing Symbian, scrape off S40 and move Symbian further down the phone order. It’ll be a shame if the light fades on Symbian and whether or not WP8 sees a boom, better be a multi-OS OEM like Samsung and HTC because there is no way in hell i’m making WP my main phone, may only buy because of its promise of better relationship with its elder brother (windows OS) which is still the most matured and widely used desktop OS we have. Nobody has the right to control how i use my phone, i want it as open as possible.
