+ Why is Symbian virtually absent in the United States?

[mad H]

you all put up very good arguments, but to tell you the truth its all about the advertizing...here you see lots of cingular/tmo/sprint/verison adds but you dont even see nokia/se/sami/moto cermercials, let alone symbian adds...

[The Tragic Mulatta]

Congratz! You will fall in love with symbian and nokia. The camera is of fine grade and the phone period is nice. Windows Mobile..... I was playin with my buddies T-Mobile Dash.... The phone reboots all the time.... U have to click 2 diff. options to get to the camera for instance.... Heck Windows XP is was more easier to navigate than Windows Mobile Devices.

And u got the 20 million trillion virus and spyware scares that Windows always tends to inherit. Even the makers of the phones itself tend to really suck like really really low ear volume..... bad bluetooth recievers... Hell just bad reception.... and poor product support. The list goes ON and ON and windows

Haha, yea, I work for a T-Mobile dealer so I get to see all sorts of interestings bugs on the Windows Mobile devices.

I was with Cingular during the TDMA -> GSM conversion, and that was the last Nokia I owned (a 6200 which I wasn't fond of). Since then, I've had a Samsung E715, Motorola V620, and SE w800i. I figure it's time to give Nokia a chance again.

cache or cachet?

[fatpendulum]

symbian is NOKIA basically.

[Bill the House Detective]

so forget how americans tend to buy the phones that stars have used or if the phone is "popular"

[jassycute23]

HAHA cachet, thanks for pointing out MY grammar mistake



Thanks for your opinion, would you like a cookie?

another issue is that no one knows what symbian is. i gaurantee if you polled everyone in america less than 5% of them would know what symbian is. a year ago i didn't know what symbian was. but i was introduced to it by a friend who got a 6682, started reading, and wound up here. two months later i got an e62 and now i love symbian.

i think it's because we as americans are simply too stupid to operate smart phones after all our president says nuclear nucular.

dang it you beat me too it i wanted to say this...
