Trouble with Nokia is their dogged determination with the, frankly, awful Symbian on their smartphones. Nokia used to make good phones, but that ended around the time on 6310.

The troubles with Windows Mobile are:
1) People want to use it like a gayPhone, so phone makers put crap 'apps' on top to make it more 'touchy'.  I class TouchFlo3D and Panels in this category
2) HTC. They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Once superb, awful hardware now.

Problem with crApple is:
1) you have to be a girl to own one. That includes being a girl, but in a mans body.
2) the closed nature of it. And you have the nerve to suggest that Microsoft have nasty, unfair practices ;)



I have no loyalty to any phone.  As it stands for my needs (phones calls, sms, exchange integration for email/calendar/contacts, web browsing and the odd app/util), Nokia is useless/unusable, Windows fits the bill very well, crApple also fits the bill (Exchange integration much better (almost usable!) with V3 of OS) but I'm too striaght to own one.

Post by: TheBoy on 23 December 2009, 15:07:30
I should add, though I've only had it a couple of days, I'm really impressed with Windows Mobile 6.5

Its a fair bit different so still finding my way around, and not entirely sure where TouchFlo ends and WM6.5 starts. Still looks like it doesn't have the 'gestures' of gayPhone, so no doubt manufactures will still add 'gayPhoness' to it.

Its like its a new thing, isn't it.  Nokia's apps were never well promoted, and didn't got that popular. I bet 99% of Nokia smartphones don't have any 3rd party apps installed.

WinCE apps have always been there - probably the biggest advantage of WinCE for most is the open nature, and the easy development.


crApple, to their credit, have managed to market the add-on apps, maily due to the (horrid reliance) integration to iTunes store. Despite the horribly closed nature of their gayPhone and gayPod Touch.  Fair play to them, rehashed an old idea, and made it seem like a big 'new' feature.

blackberry did the same to an extent with email, as l'm sure i dont need to tell you. I'm amased people dont get it.
Nokia only got them selves to blame tbh, they should have twigged long ago that the genral public where not seeing the full functionality of their devices, and hence not buying them. Its cost them millions.

Still “I” know who  makes the best. Even if no other bugger does.  ;D

No such thing as best - its horses for courses :)

Obviously, if you want a simple phone that is an unreliable (hardware and software) heap, and you are of suspect sexuality, then Nokia N series

If you are a gullible pillock, or you work for a corporate, then Blackberry.

If you are sane, then Winmobile (shame nobody but HTC make them)

If you think style is more importnant than substance, then Apple has a product for you :)

fully understand all except this part. Esp as i know you owned an n95 iirc? Can only presume Nokia’s irritating habbit of relesing buggy un finished phones has done your head in? Which is understandable, every nokia i've owned has been crashy on the first couple of software versions.

BUT...I would have thought it ideal for you in the long run as it's menus are totally customiziable. The vast majority of dross aps can be either removed or left in the depths of the menu never to be seen again, leaving the main menu (route folder) full of all the stuff you want and actually use. You've mentioned over complex menus and crap kiddy winks applications in the past, but the former fixs the latter. You can go in as deep as you wanty and be as childish as you like, take it or leave it. Or make ot what you will, i should say.

I get the impression you want only the functions you mention and nothing else?




ps, dont worry though its not a gay phone, but as i recall there was little hesitation in meeting someone you met on the internet in a remote and pleasant country side car park, and going for a ride in his car. ;)
Title: Re: test
Post by: TheBoy on 24 December 2009, 21:14:49
Yeah, I'm tied to a phone with a good email/exchange connectivity.  Which in one foul swoop, rules out *anything* Finnish or Swedish. Including anything Symbian.

The gay Blackberries are only any good if you have a BES server. Pointless otherwise.

crApple have fixed a lot that was wrong with Exchange connectivity recently, but gayPhone still has too many flaws for me.

So left with Windows.

Up until now I amazed my kids with my nokia 1600 because it makes phone calls anywhere in the country and shock horror the battery lasts more than 20 minutes before the power goes and panic ensues looking for a charger for their all singing all dancing stuff.I say up until now as santa has got me a nokia 7100 this morning.I hardly use the phone and I can't justify a contract as I am old and have managed all these years with about £10 every 8 - 10 weeks sometimes longer.

Im the same,a phone is for making phone calls (occassionally).I just had a look at mine to see if it is gay or not,couldnt remember who made it - its a Nokia, so I may be a bit gay but it isnt an Apple so Im not in Darth Loo Knee territory yet.I found something which says "Apps" but I have no idea what it does and life is too short to spend time pissing about with it trying to find out.
It does have an MP3 player built in though which has free unlimited downloads. :)

New rom to fix the issues that the last o2 rom update put on (once phone lost signal (common round my way), it would never regain it.  TYpically useless (modern) HTC heap of junk.

New rom has cured all my existing gripes, except screen sensitivity (varies around screen) - but that might be due to the hard life the phone has had

My current phone consists of a nokia 5110.

This nokia is the best phone ever made. Still working as new and can be used as an axle stand if necessary ::)

pmsl, so even Nokia (Symbian's current owner, or have they sold it now?) don't use it.  That about sums up how poor Symbian is.
this range ( n900 n810 n7??) uses maemo, always has, or has been lynux based at least, they have been internet tablets only up to now, this is the first of that range to include phone functionality.
Dont know nokias intentions re symbian, the recently released n97 still uses it. I wondered if they would advance maemo instead from here on and drop symbian.
You said yourself symbian is dead, or at least very old, maybe they they have recognised that fact. Maemo is even more customisable but alot less depth to the menus. Apps  still a bit kidy winks though

You know your self nokia have a few os depending on the range of phones....series40 v series60(symbian) ? well now you know they have lynux based maemo.

I'm suprised you didnt rip into lynux as well tbh... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Symbian in all varieties is shite on touch screen, Nokia 5800 shows its limitations.

I used to like it, could run TomTom on S60 versions, back then it was fairly decent, but compared to iPhone and Android now its just horrid!

tomtom never made a touch screen version for nokia, they have suprisingly few symbian approved phones, version 6 just happens to work on most key pad/joy stick symbian phones, most later models are not approved as tomtom pulled out due to the insecure nature of the os. ie people kept hacking the security and gretting it for free. ::)
tt love the gay phone due to the security of the spp store i guess....? hence it gets an approved version where all fuctions work, and i imagine it works very well on that large touch screen, tt is a touch screen app after all?

Not that anyone would do that  :-X


Security? App Store  :-X :-X - Can jail break an iPhone in a matter of seconds, there are also loads of other 'app stores' out there, which let you download all the apps for free, including TT  ;D  :-X

AND ANOTHER THING, :( what a nightmare developers most have righting software for nokia devices, how many models do nokia have?
Taking tomtom for example, they would have been expected to right a software version for each and every capable model in the nokia range (maybe another reason why they pulled out of nokia support) there must be 40, maybe 50 smartphone handsets to right a version for? all differant in some way or other. Must need a team of people beavering away just keeping up with the next nokia release for any developer. What a logistical nightmare. Not to mention all the other brands and their, albeit less numerous, models.

Apple? easy, one model, job done! no wonder there is so much software (apps) available for the bloody thing.

Different firmware versions too, but, most important, screen size & res has stayed the same, Gen1 apps still work on Gen3....

Thats the advantage of crApple's 'closed' system - as they have to authorise each app before release, they can control things easy.

crApple get away with such antics - if any other company did similar, they would get hammered.  Imagine buying a Dell laptop, but only being able to run Dell approved software on it.

oh, not so unique then :( ;D ;D ;D

similar with nav on this thing...it does have maps but doesnt seem to have turn by turn, tomtom style.

dont think tt will ever work on it although they do seem to have a plug in to allow google maps to work, maybe they can do same with tt? but for now, all i can do is wait for software to become avealable. Sigh!

turn by turn is something android is really lacking, there is 'CoPilot' but thats £30.... Google Navigation will be free, and it looks brilliant. There was a hack to get it working in the UK, but G released a patch to bugger it  :(

Utterly useless having google navigation - reliant on a permement data connection. Also hits into your data allowance hard.

£30 ain't much for a big app such as copilot
