ugh. . .i despise razr's. except for the v3x. i only hate that one.

[JBallaa]

v3, v3i, v3x, v3xx, v3c, v3t...now if only moto can use the rest of the alphabets

htc is creating world phones yes, more ram yes as well, but the reason why more ram is because ppc and wm simply require more ram and more processing power to operate, it doesnt necessarily mean that it is much of an advantage over symbian... and btw, nothing to do with why symbian is absent in the US

come to think of it, how absent is symbian in the US???

@SymbianBlack: I agree with you 99%, my one disagreement being your assertion that Nokia phones are the highest priced... i'd argue thatr SE holds that spot.

We have seen a few Symbian phones from the major U.S. GSM carriers: T-mobile/Voicestream, Cingular, and Cingular Blue/AT&T Wireless. Some that come to mind are: Nokia 3600, Nokia 3650, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6620, Nokia E62.

unlocked SE vs unlocked Nokia? Look at p990, look at w900 (been out for like two years!)... SE phones stay expensive way longer.

again, come to think of it, major carriers in the US not having symbian phone is an advantage coz not all people carry your phone!!!

its got to be pretty cool walking on campus or on the street and you got N73 or N93 or E61 and all the guys have razr or bb!!!

if you go here in dubai, all you can see are N80, N73, 6600, 6230... you dont feel soo special when you carry S60 coz everybody has it... in a way s60 not being so popular in the US is an advantage!!!
