    can Nokia please get their heads outta their asses like Palm finally did. It's time to move on. Symbian had a time and place and its just about over now that they have so much damn competition.

    Nokia once vowed never to make clamshell phones too. So expect Androids soon!

    S60v5 (Symbian^1)is only a transitional OS, for nokia to stay in the game while they get ready for the offensive, its basically the old Symbian patched for touch, although the n97 will get better with the v20 update this month.

    I think with the stuff i see happening (check nokia beta labs), the "new" Symbian is maturing quite nicely. By Symbian^4 (1 year from now) i'm expecting excellent things, especially with both Mameo and Symbian using Qt, it will be very streamlined and good for devs.

    Why would Nokia fragment its environments for the devs by introducing Android. Especially with them having a bit of a bad rep for doing just that (ie. changing APIs, etc)

    I can only imagine Nokia's head office, akin to Hitler's conference room in Downfall, where the head honcho is reading the charts showing declining sales, and he yells at his development staff for not making headway with Symbian and Maemo, only to finally break down and tell one of his staffers to get Google on the phone.

    I think you're underestimating Maemo's potential. The Symbian platform may be outdated but Nokia definitely has some good ideas under its sleeve. Nokia produces both hardware and platforms and resorting to Android so quickly would be a cop-out.

    There's rumours about a complete Symbian redesign... and Maemo looks fantastic!! No need for Android here.

    Thats a shame I like a lot of Nokia designed phones and from my personal exp they are the best on the ATT networks for some reason. But that Symbian OS has to go, its really bland. I haven't used Maemo but I bet its not as cool as Android.

    In reply to Samsung Moment Hands-On
    Hmm. Looks pretty good. Not my favorite Android device I've seen, but definitely pretty solid.

    As far as the stock Android goes, it seems that most of the carriers that are picking up Android are going for both an overhauled version and a Google Experience version. T-Mo's got the G1/MyTouch tag teaming with the CLIQ. Sprint and Verizon are both getting HTC's Hero, while Verizon's picking up the Tao/Sholes/Droid. If this is Samsung's alternative to the Hero, but they have both options, color me satisfied.

    In any case, I've been pretty happy with the stock Android so far. Since the polish came with 1.5 it actually hasn't looked that bad.

    @ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD: It doesn't seem that hard of a choice. Do you want a real keyboard and a faster processor or not? The pretty interface of the Hero should eventually come to this phone courtesy of XDA Developers.

    Maybe I'm just pissy because I have a G1. :(

    @Dafrety: I was wondering about the Sprint Hero's processor. The Giz review said it was faster than the original, but every other review I've read says it isn't.

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: I think they bumped it to a 600 something MHz for the Sprint Hero, right? Engadget says that the Moment will have an 800 MHz processor.

    @ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD: If this had a touch screen I would go with it, but that trackpad thing sounds like the suck.

    I'm still going Hero slower processor or not (for now). If i hate it, you have 30 days to turn in it in which case I'll get this one haha

    @Sir Gibler: I just don't like the bend on the V one, other than that I would agree.
