All right, I was referring to series 60 because that's the symbian I've tried. Anyway the sony ones using uiq didn't look any better in my opinion. Altough they're getting better with time they just can't compare to samsung.
I know it is an open platform and that it multithreads but we're talking about usability here. With all those millions spent by nokia I would spect something better, in particular faster. And there seems to be people that finds these phones useful but without a touchscreen I find them pretty useless, unless you want to impress some friends showing them your snes emulator. That's were sony got it right(px00) and nokia did not.
I'm always reading the same biased opinions here in slashdot about the usability of mobile phones. I agree with symbian being pretty nasty to use, slow and ugly. The models equipped with symbian tend to be high end models, just get a series 40 nokia or a samsung and shut up already.
E3 is right behind, ps3 will go for less than 500 damn sure. Sony is crapping his pants, records don't do well, people won't go to the movies anymore, samsung is kicking his ass on electronics. If the playstation fails sony is gonna be in big trouble.
