what gets me is the fact that people are responding to this thread.

why?

by so doing, you are lending credence to the fuckery it represents.


this is 2013, not 2008. threads like this should elicit a shake of the head, and a curse for the bandwidth wasted in reading it.

move on.

ciphoenix: but you can't compare them both. N8 that couldn't even take the new software updates

I'm running my N8 on belle refresh, I hv an exceptional device to compliment my life.
If u have no life and need a phone to create one for u, get an android.
It doesnt get much simpler.

We are talking about phones and some people are actually mentioning E72 , N97
In 2013

muumu of the highest order... Ur above post even happens to be longest in this thread...

ciphoenix: i'm not talking web browser category. every OS has web browsers, even Symbian S40. i'm talking productivity and academic apps.

games
hardware

even when it comes to multitasking, top droids make symbian phones feel like they can't multitask

are you sure you understand what multitasking is? cos if understand it you wont mention it in your argument,

i think your problem was that you dont read and digest other comments very well b4 reply.

I used web category as an example

can you name applications in productivity and academic(may be u mean education) category that even webOS dont have

So other OS dont have Games and hardware

This is 2013 not 2003

e.g

what about data usage
i remebered my LCG xplorer on symbian is less than 1MB but android hmmmm more than the size of my fifa 2010 on same device

It is obvious that quite a few people who use phones use them because it is fashionable to do so. If any one of these guys have done a close like for like comparison between for example the windows 8 phones, say the lumia 920 and any of the jelly bean androids,they will observe that the difference between them boils down to how one defines user friendly.
I have used the androids from the gingerbread through the ice cream to jellybean, quite frankly i find the windows 8 more of what i want. Simply put if you are more of a games person then the android is for you. If you are more of the business oriented type the windows 8 is what you want. They all have their various strengths and weaknesses.

my definition of true multitasking is not jumping from app to app. it is using 2 apps simultaneously. ever heard of split screen?

I used web category as an example

can you name applications in productivity and academic(may be u mean education) category that even webOS dont have

i could cite epocrates as an example. they're a host of other 3D medical atlas in the playstore as well

So other OS dont have Games and hardware

perhaps it's you who doesn't read before replying. i said they're no mates. NOT they don't have hardware and games.

Yea whatever...u can think what u lyk, its none o'' ma biz

yawns*

ciphoenix:

Seun will need to locate that person IP . straight to Psych ward

Buahahahahaha

Damon03: The problem comes when u compare a 2009 or 2010 phone with a 2012 phone, it's plain stu pidity. Even a dummy knows that 2 years is a lot of time in mobile tech.

What can an s3 do that an 808 can't (which is an os functionality) is a better comparison!!!
Me think android is overrated.

Nice one.

This OP is still here making silly comparisons SMH.
Have you ever heard of:
-Wi-Fi hotspot
-Wi-Fi/usb tethering
-split screen,
-3d Hd super amoled screens etc?
These are features you can't find even in the most expensive Symbian device.
It's not android users' fault that Nokia decided to discontinue obsolete Symbian OS and supporting devices.
Better upgrade of you are not a learner.

Calm down, if u can use nairaland then u can use google. Search for the latest belle phones and check their specs, smartphone users are supposed to be smart buddy

Damon03: Calm down, if u can use nairaland then u can use google. Search for the latest belle phones and check their specs, smartphone users are supposed to be smart buddy

The so called 'latest Belle' devices are over a year old. Where is the wisdom in comparing a product still in production (android) and that which has been discontinued(Symbian)?

Since you know how to use Google, why not check the opinion of peeps in developed economies about Symbian

The so called 'latest Belle' devices are almost a year old. Where is the wisdom in comparing a product still in production (android) and that which has been discontinued(Symbian)? If Symbian is so good then why did Nokia discontinue it? Most of you guys forget that majority of android users were once die-hard Symbian users.

Since you know how to use Google, why not check out the opinion of peeps in developed economies about Symbian

If they are so old then why do they av the same capability with ur so called androids? Symbian being discontinued is not what the topic is about... and you dont need to be die-hard anything, use whatever floats ur boat and u dont need to condemn another device to do that, do u?

why not check out the opinion of peeps in developed economies about Symbian

Opinion is personal, facts are sacred!! Give me facts

hmm as for me i think android is the best and have cum to stay and u cant compare 2010 to 2012 evan a mad person is aware of the big space.

Can't see where I condemned symbian unless calling it discontinued sounds like condemnation to you. Learn to read between the lines.
You want facts? Show me a symbian device that can boost of all the features I posted above.

SYMBIAN IS DEAD whether you like it or not

this one got me on the floor

First of all don't compare retarded Symbian phonez to android cause thing that android do symbian won't in the next hundred year even if it got upgraded 2 wat ever u call it belle don't care........Tell me a symbian phone that has a Quad Core 2GB Ram or a HD Screen or a symbian phone that cud unlock it self by staring at the front camera....or that cud multitask between 50 apps at same time.....Symbian is Dead even Nokia ditched them.

atimes change is necessary.... I was once a die hard fan of Nokia phones... I was abit reluctant to buy an android phone but ever since I did there was never any regret.....when u talk abt customization talk android

their apps are very different from other OS apps....take for example whatsapp on android is far nicer than whatsapp on other OS.....with Facebook app n someones phone number you can locate that person on Facebook

I will advice those noise makers of Nokia phone to try out an android phone n WOW urself

Cant really argue with someone who doesnt know the difference between a processor and a damn RAM. No offense

U mean u still dont know that wi-fi tethering is on symbian phones Should I even be answering u? Or u mean dividing a less than 5 inches screen to watch movie on one side and play games on another side(thats if they're ever able to make it work for all apps) is a great technology I dont want to say what it is lest I sound insultive

Damon03: Cant really argue with someone who doesnt know the difference between a processor and a damn RAM. No offense

First Don't try n argue about Tech wit me plz tell me any Symbian phone that got a Quad Core processor or 2GB of Ram

In the real world, said Microsoft's

efficiently the operating system can
manage tasks, period.

BTW, how's ur phone's battery life...(don't bother to answer cos I probably won't be replying u anymore)

If u still think we need 10 cores, be my guest
