I shall be truthful in my findings. It will be interesting to see how all this swishy swashy eye candy compares to the no frills practicality of all the phones i've ever owned up to this point.

Even better So how are you're impressions. Do you like it better than Android? I am not impressed with Android so far, dont have any iOS experience though.

You left-handed? Didn't know it.

EDIT. There are lefty scissors by the way. Ned Flanders sold them at the Leftorium:

I don't rate either as particularly great OS's. Symbian is a better OS but just can't gather developer momentum or the UI design. Android I like bit it's not mature enough and is now becoming way too fragmented. Android is just an easy sell for manufacturers who don't want to invest in their own software.

So far the iPhone is pretty good though. Missing proper native podcast support, hating iTunes reliance. I need to stick with it though. Without apps though this thing is just a brick.

Agree about Android, its becoming 'the default'. Has some disadvantages like you said. Maemo feels like a real OS like Windows is. Just the basics done good, quick multitasking, no need for hardware buttons and pretty fast. Misses the apps and there is a lack of effort from Nokial though.

It is 1.5 years till my next phone anyway, so cant tell what I'd be using then. Doubt it will be iOS, since I cant afford the iDevices. Android, Meego maybe. Time will tell.

As developer I think Windows Phone 7 looks good, since you can develop in one of the better languages imho.

Meego has potential. Wished Nokia would hurry up and give us some teasers though.

I dont know, you cant develop 2 great systems at a time. Wish they'd choose one out of Symbian and Meego.

One for high end and one for low end can work. Both will be running QT developed apps so cross compatability is there.

True, but the OSs themselves are completely different. So every core feature needs to written twice. For example Nokia will need to write 2 camera drivers. It would be much easier to have one shared core where the high end phones contain more built in apps and more features. Then they can share the basic, common stuff, like phone, webbrowser, etc.
