Thanks for reponses.

No not actually, I wasn't talking about Moto or any other company generally, or was targetting a subsets, what I meant was, Linux is as close a thing you can have on your mobile resembling your PC. And with things like Android, Openmoko, LJ, etc coming out, you can be sure that your mobile and your PC will almost look and function the same in terms of their allocated work areas.

That is what I call as close as it gets. Of course, personal opinion.

In terms of the application set available as of now, nothing can beat Symbian, yet!

Other than symbian at present scenario .............. I don't think of any other...

Even being a hardcore symbian s60 user(used ngage , 6600 , 6630 , n70 , 5700) i gotta admit that software available for windows mobile is far impressive than s60. Though s60 still lags behind in user interface and speed but with newer htc and xperia things are changing.

And iphone os is almost perfect . Dont understand why you said s60 is better

i think windows mobile is better than Symbian ...............
Although i am a symbian users but after reading a lot about these two i have founded out that windows mobile is better than symbian

i stick with Windows Mobile...faster than symbian, more n bettr applications and cool luks(i like'em bettr thn iPhone)

Decide after having a look at here....

ANDROID looks too gud

but I hate WM6.0

H

I'm using both WM6 (Samsung SGH-i710) and s60 OS9.2 (N82) and i find WM6 to be better than s60.s60 doesnt allow the user to tweak the UI but with any WM device u can change the whole look and feel of the UI with softwares like SPB and PointUI Home and lotsa others.
also WM6 is faster than s60 (cant say the same for WM5,found it to be slower than s60 OS9.2 in most occasions).but WM6 has its own disadvantages the main being virus which the current gen of s60 (s60v3) doesnt hav yet.another is the ease of use.most users i've seen using s60 find it a bit difficult in using WM.they seem lost in the settings.

Symbian rules for me!

WM anytime.

btw 1 more thing

windows mobile has got gta and the symbian one has not gr.....

WM also has breakthrough Devices like the XPERIA and the TOUCH PRO which Symbian doesnt..

So True!

I dont like WM6 at all. WM6.1 works better for me. Also WM is now more accessible. Before WM fones were priced too high.

dont worry they r soon gonna hav lots both from SE & Nokia.

redfivelabs.com says dat .Net Framework 1.0 is avaible for s60 which can expand s60 capabilities to install & use WM softies without any changes.

wts dat

Windows 5.0 is cool..Haven't used 6.0...Android will surely be a blast..

Will in with windows mobile... Ya... I'm waitin for android based phones...

I don't think WM 5.0 is more complex s60v3.

H

^^^ cant agree with u on this one.s60 UI is far easier than WM.some ppl hav dificulties in setting WM.

^^WM 6.1 is a breakthrough in terms of technology according to many.I personally like linux.Its a shame however that Moto is the only company presently implementing it on a wider basis.Nokia and SE could have transported it to a higher level.

wts dat

I also want to know more about this. Have heard the same.

arey i have got this installed this in my mobile

but till now no app for it

and you cannot use old windows mobile app

That's what i thought.
Then it's useless.

yea.. thats a pity... only some sample .net apps which are of no use are bundled with that application..!!

It would be nice to see more such apps come through that platform onto S60!!

I think symbian will go more complex in near future.

Regarding .Net Framework 1.0, there will some after few. Me too going to try soon.

That means you can run any existing WM application which use framework 1.0 on S60 phones.. yes without any modifications ( unless it uses phone specific API) . Some features wont work like Location Courier feature which is available in ASUS PDA's on S60 Phones... cause it the application will use special API's to access the hardware which is available only on that phone.... in fact .. the same WM application can be run on you PC too

..

Can anyone post links for Kubuntu and .NET symbian framework apps?
