Ok, after a year from my last post here, and taking more time with other OS, I guess I had to change my comment a bit.. yes, a bit.. seriously speaking, d later symbian OS bears d resemblance of a Droid as far as UI is concerned so u will quickly catch up porting from either OS. 
However, depending on which device u'r running android on, u will find the droid UI, widget and other features so interesting in such a way that u won't wanna touch your symbian device no more. The droid's polished interface indeed made Symbian look like.. eh, Nokia has got some works to do if they really wanna compete with other leading OS... Maybe that was why they embraced windows. 
The later generation of symbian really tried, but you will surely feel complete and satisfied with Android than any other OS

hmmmmm!!! Nice post by all of you. This issue is just about choice. If you want a clean, easy to operate, average application phone, fancy and good screen display phone then go for nokia belle. If you are a deep nokia belle user, u will see there are many apps for nokia belle bt nt up to andriod. Andriod is an application phone bt not pretty in hand. Belle is a pretty phone e. Nokia c7, 603, 701, 700 even touch and type like e6. hack your belle and enjoy it. Nokia is good andriod is good it depends on choice and taste.

In answer to your points:

1. Changing operator logo is very possible in Android for those who care for it.

2. Android comes with inbuilt VPN.

3. There are many file and app hiders for Android.

4. I am not familiar with php so can't really answer that.

5. FM transmitter is not an app it is hardware.

Android Apps that are better than symbian apps

1. Full fledge documents, spreadsheet and powerpoint editors.

2. Dictionary apps. My offline dictionary pronounces the words.

3. Better photo and video editing apps.

4. Better and more fully featured web browsers ie HTML5 support.

5. Better email apps.

6. Better social media apps.

7. Better handwriting/drawing apps.

8. Better live/video wallpaper support.

I am sure there is much more Android is better at than symbian.

@firstuserdami
You can argue all you want but the makers of symbian know they can't compete anymore. Nokia has given up on symbian and is ending official support come January 2014, if that doesn't make you pause and think then no matter what I say you will keep arguing.

While it is sour for you it is good news to us who like to have diverse choices.

Like Seriously, this thread keeps growing? Now am LMAO. 2013 is almost gone, can't believe people are still debating on a Droid and a Symbian.
I really dont get.. The Symbian fan boys Are u obsessed with the Nokia devices itself or you are in love with the Symbian OS you are running?

If it is the phone - Then i must admit Nokia manufacturers have really got good hardware engineers working their azz off to give the very best, kudos, but why not get a newer nokia device with better OS, The Nokia Lumia devices runs on WindowsMobile and i feel it s ok

If it is the symbian OS that freaks u, then my brother, i dunno what to say to u. Maybe u need to wake up to a new advanced system of setting up a smartphone operating system to meet the daily needs of consumers!

Re: Android Vs Symbian Phones, Which Is Better? by ITbomb(m): 10:59am On Jul 13, 2014
This thread was created in 2012 when Android was still a new kid on the bloc (at least here in Nigeria).
I can bet most people that argued for symbian then (including my humble self) now owns a droid and opinions have changed.

Android rocks
After buying and using an android tablet, I decided to get a 1gig ram android phone and tune it down to function as a symbian (battery and data)
I rooted it and installed Droidwall and Greenify and open access to only apps I used on symbian (ie Operamini, WhatsApp, Email), then I put the network on EDGE only.

Result : I can use only free 15mb for 3 days full browsing and the battery last a whole day.
This enables me to get the full android experience on my tablet and subscribe only for it while the phone keeps my access to chats and email on 24 hrs without charging

Don't just go wit the wind.
Find a phone that suits ur purpose.
That's how I define 'the best phone for u'
Theyr diff considerations wen buying a phone, like:
screen size,
size of the phone,
application store
availability of physical keyboard,
preference for touchscreen only,
Data consumption,
Messaging features,
Browsing experience,
battery life etc.
IMO nokia has the best battery life, android has betta usabilty, u have the choice of to diff phone vendors with android OS , nokia alone runs symbian.
U get good battery life from android fones If u buy d very big ones (@least datz wot the specs say).
The choice is urs man.
