Quoth the article: 'Symbian now licenses its smartphone software to all five top mobile makers, and its OS has beaten both Palm and Microsoft in the European handheld device market'"

    Am I the only one that thought that said Sybian?

      It was the next logical step after all...

      To have the phone set on 'vibrate' by default.

    A Sybian in a cell phone? Now that just might be a good idea. Of course, if you thought women talking on cellphones driving their 2 ton SUVs were bad enough, imagine that chaos if they were being pleasured by the sybian AND talking on the phone AND driving...

    So MS's smartphone can play chess... does this me Symbian's can play Go? :)

    I'm waiting for a cellphone that can play Global Thermonuclear War.

    Does it make you happy you're so strange?

  6. Have you head about those new Sybian phones? by Subcarrier · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sybian Series 60, the ultimate sexperience, complete with Multimedia Massaging (MMS) capabilities. Now you can give your partner a buzz whenever you feel like it. An MMS just feels so much better than just a phone call! This is one phone you don't mind sticking under your belt.

    Oh, and have you heard about those new Sybian phones for the male audience? They suck.

    The SCH-850 was a piece of crap. After a few weeks of using it, it would die. Not the battery, or screen. That would all work fine. It would show full signal strength, but would never connect to the network.

    Yeah. See, the service requires you to pay a monthly bill.
