I really loved Symbian the first time i held it in my hand. used it for more than 2 years. but you gotta evolve to attract the masses or you'll be history, in this case the "Burning Platform".

Thanks for supporting Symbian PIZERO.
Your themes as always are top-notch.
iOS Style also is super cool on my 701.
I hope other developers hear you and bring some cool new HD games for us.

I have Nokia 808 with newly released Belle FP2 and it's awesome. I wouldn't change it for any smartphone currently on the market.

i guess,they could have just bumped up the specs and got some gud developers for it...
take the new asha touch phones,elop n all could get EA to develop games for those,but not symbian??would have saved alot of money...
symbian wasnt as dead as elop told us it was...
my opinion..
