Ok, I never know that the market was actually monopolised until now...still Symbian.

...but Android is coming up... very strong.

Symbian is dead long time ago, just because Android is still quite new in market, now it's chasing up.

I still find my Symbian-based N86 more reliable than my Android HTC Hero. Android phones don't seem to work with my home router WAG54G2 properly. Also sometimes when it says "Connected to Mobile Network", it's still not really connected.

Can't wait to test Symbian^3...

I think I know what is your problem. WAG I assumed is Linksys?

What is the encryption protocol used??

Using WEP. My Hero can connect the first time, but if I disconnect or leave the area it cannot connect anymore. I have to restart the router.

None of my other gadgets have this problem.

isn't it supposed to be 'connect to wifi'?

mobile network is our mobile network eg maxis, celcom, digi internet service

You turned on both Mobile Network & Wifi. You have to turn off mobile network or else your phone will juggle between the 2 which ever have active connection.

I owned E63 previously & I hate it when it decided to connect gprs by itself when connecting to wifi. In Android, off stays off.

older generation that uses nokia won't want to spend RM2K for a new phone.

new generation won't spend RM2K on outdated symbian, with iphone and android around.

I'll see how nokia answer/fail to both challenges. I can't see how symbian^3 is going to rescue nokia

i'm not using Nokia / symbian phone since 2003

Who doesn't. Most of iPhone & Android phone users were & still Symbian owners.

Before my SGS I was on Nokia 6630 for about 6 years...

Android is overtaking Symbian real quick.

typos bro..should be NOT USING

Ah i see.

Anyway, all I see in Symbian^3 is just an updated version of Symbian OS 9.x.

depends on your needs loh, if camera freak, android still lagging behind on that.

i guess its more of a s60v5 make over..

Symbian has very little hope currently..Here is my prediction:

Soon, the top will be Android, followed by iOS, then RIM. These two will be the top leaders of the board..Following this will be Win7, then Symbian 3, followed by MeeGo..

There is ONLY ONE way for Nokia to sustain the top ranking of being the mobile phone giant..Join Android revolution..

Nokia should do a Samsung Galaxy S. Pack an uber spec flagship phone for Android and they'll see how great the sale will be. Then compare the sales with the N8 and Nokia forget about Symbian.

Do Nokia dare to admit Symbian is obsolete?

Nokia is falling, same with Symbian.. go & see how fast the price of those Symbian & Nokia phones drop..

Obsolete?
No, Symbian is still pretty good, for a keypad phone. However, Nokia was stubborn and cut off S90 and Maemo despite having better UI for touch interaction. They went back with S60 with a slap-on Touch Interaction which makes it non interesting. If only they give it up and went on with S90 or Maemo, I think they should have fare better.

No la bro, Android will automatically choose wifi over mobile data. Android also understand the fact that mobile data is expensive....
