The only down point is the OS. Symbian is a bit outdated now.

My Samsung Wave SHINES! Can't wait to upgrade to BADA 1.2

PS: I already get dreams of launching a CE-Phone 😁

OK I was wrong. Check out the new phones by Nokia. E7-00 is awesome
The Symbian ^3 is quite good

Yeah, that Symbian version is suited for HD use. Looks quite good.

@Bigk:what is that BADA 1.2?

praveena211@Bigk:what is that BADA 1.2?

BADA is the new mobile OS developed by Samsung. Currently the only phone that has it, is Samsung Wave. 1.2 is the next version

@raj Thanks😀

I'm thinking of getting a new phone. I'm very confused between Android and Symbian ^3. Can anyone compare these two? Which one do you think is better in terms of future support and scope??

Btw, anyone knows the price of Nokia N8 in India??
