Most grossing (ever grossing) Android
Losing Popularity Symbian
Most Consistent underdog Blackberry OS (RIM)

no one to beat RIM in multitasking...(yet)!

Android is gonna get the maximum votes.
Apart from that iOS is also good but I m gonna vote for Android.

I wonder who voted for Symbian

^^^
Me too...They guy seem to be crazy and a huge fan of Nokia

there are a few Nokia C6-01, C7 & N8 users here. For them Symbian Belleis the best. Also Belle is mature, stable & offers a bit of customization.

Hehehe...I know.. :wink:

voted..

MeeGo is the best mobile OS out there and Nokia N9 is the best phone ever. Compared to MeeGo, Android is second grade. I'm not talking from an "apps" point of view.

Nokia are the biggest idiots around for sticking up with Symbian. Should have capitalised on Maemo/MeeGo when Android hadn't learned to walk.

^^ Nope. And no other phone will ever be released.

I don't know. It all depends on availibility of a ROM. Android ROMs for N9 are in progress though.

if MeeGo is that good why are phone manufacturers not using it ??

I feel Symbian was the last mobile OS made for mobiles. The rest are looking to bring PC like features at the cost of basic mobile functions.

iOS was what impressed me a lot but with so many restrictions it left a bitter taste in the end.

Android, well, the most promising but still not there, or maybe I am just talking about the battery life here. I still feel like a beta tester right now. But if there is one horse I would put my money on, it would be android.

BB, used it for a month, was okayish. I was on an OS build that was highly criticised. Call it my luck or the lack of it. So I do not have an opinion about BB.

The worst OS I used was the Symbian Serier 60(?) or whatever the touchscreen build was. Totally out of place and highly lacking.

I was looking to upgrade to Meego or Meamo but never came across a phone that ran it (when I was buying one). I think the N9 came later, and the only phone(?) to run Meego. N900 was Meamo right?

If this voting was done in my class, then IP4 would win by a huge margin.

Trust me this time it's not about apple

Usin belle right now,It sucks though my cell has an 8 Mp cammera no auto focus f**k it

you can but to make it compatible someone have to do the hard work of porting.

Android, iOS, BB, WP, Symbian have lot of apps but not Meego. Also meego system requirements maybe higher and then you need drivers for SOC, baseband, audio, etc which Android already have so not worth it.

I want to have a look and get hands on a N9 so that I could taste Meego but haven't found N9 anywhere(thought the search is on)
And one thing I like about BB also, the true multitasking experience.

Nope.

Nokia N9 has two year old hardware but it is smoother than the fastest Android device.

Porting of drivers too isn't going to be a big deal. Both Android and Meego are based off the same kernel. It's just that there is no point of bothering with Meego now. People won't buy it.

tbh - Android, iOS and WIndows Phone - all three are ridiculous.

Android gets screwed up by OEMs. example, *i.imgur.com/OnImH.jpg - wondering how the default "Email" app got integrated with Samsung's ****. And this continued to happen despite the account being deleted long ago. :/
iOS is too difficult to use once you start using it for tasks other than app/game whoring.
Windows Phone has no apps, won't be gaining the momentum easily and is useless if you're using Linux.

no one voted for webos?
and how are the 2 windows os different?

windows phone OS is found on phones like Nokia lumia 800,710,samsung omnia w
it has "metro style UI"

windows mobile was found on samsung omnia (don't remember model no) and some htc phones in the past
it has UI just as Windows i.e. Start Menu,task manager,etc

No one for bada ???

@ico: So, you never even used a Meego, and it's your favorite?

Hard to understand you!

Btw... voted for Android, cause it gives me PC on phone!!

And which is my requirement.
WP7 has a long way to go).

Seen videos. Know people who are using it.

In any case, Maemo 5 back in N900 is what Android has managed to come close NOW.

desibond used to have the N900 and posted a review.

@ICO I Agree.

used moblin intially developed by intel later merged with maemo project of Nokia. which later evolved into Meego.
It has one of the most intuitive interface and cloud functionality after JoliOS.

However it is too far to provide a quick and easy to use interface to casual users.
Still a solid os that sank in development hell.

I can understand dude! Just watched this video of its demo... and got to tell, it looked far ahead of its time! (NFC technology where you just touch spekers to pair them, and "slide from edge" stuff!)

I am Stunned!
