Never tried this one, I use Navigator (beta) with OSM:

Works well for me.

Well, I only used a more or less stock Android till 1.6. Cyanogen after that but:
"sending files over Bluetooth n(of infrared for the models that had that)"
used this once to send something to a stock Milestone years ago. It worked (OBEX). Wasn't available in 1.x.

"out of the box functionality to choose which phone calls can be directly diverted to /dev/null or voicemail."
sending to voicemail is standard since 2.x. Ignore with an free app.

"It uses a decent profile system so when I'm at work I can set it to vibrate only with just changing profiles."
I guess they are there since 2.x. But I used free apps for that long before.

"importantly, with offline navigation"
While Nokia maps are great, there is an app (free) for that.

"Added software"
This is where the new smartphones have the real advantage. I'm switching profiles with Tasker based on time, place (either cell towers (uses no extra energie), gsm positioning, wifi accesspoints or gps), calendar item and running apps. Not only ring profiles but whether to activate wifi, gps, screen orientation/timeouts/brightness and what not.

"And, of cource, a lot of models have a decent keyboard"
So did all my android phones, it is a shame new phones are lacking them. But current high resolution screens might leave enough screen estate with a compact on screen keyboard.

So conclusion is that while the Symbian had some extra functionality out of the box, there are no features you mention that can't be added by using 3rd party apps. Except for battery life, this is where the old phones win.

"Symbian phones were very feature complete (much more so than Android and iOS, my E72 has functionality that even now isn't standard on those) and I don't like to see it go."

So what are the others missing? Please tell us so we can still get a decent Symbian phone before they are gone.

Put the driver for the standardized/interop filesystem in a (comparitive small 1%) fat16 partition* on the same media. Include nice installers and use the autorun features of the OS. Problem solved.

*: I had an older 512Gb USB drive that included the drivers for retarded windows versions on a seperate device, it emulated a cd with iso9960 of UDF.

Turn on auto correction/completion in your shell if possible (or switch shell).

Strangely enough I had to import my first android device from the USA.

B.S. you just had to buy a non branded phone. I never had a branded/locked GSM. Sure branded/locked phones might be cheaper, so you get what you pay for.

How is it beside the point if you claim to use cat because you can't remember what argument to give to read from file? There is no argument to read from file, every last string not preceded by an option is to be parsed as file to read input from (after -- if you want to read file named "-x" or "--foo"). You absolutely want to a extra program to do stuff the second one can already do, you should use dog. It is a better than cat.

You never noticed that just about all *nix commands reads input from a file (without any arguments to point out the file)?

Never do a full bounce, only send headers. Drop the body. Sending full bounces you get listed (rightfully so).

"It looks like you are appointing the ISP as the police. But are they?"

No, not it is their property (ip adresses, bandwidth) customers are using. They own it, they make the rules, don't like the rules: move.

"Is it really their responsibility to assure that their customers are operating to the standards that YOU define?"

It is their responsibility to make sure the bad customers aren't interfering with the others.

"When you don't want to receive spam, filter it. Don't choose an arbitrary target other than the sender of the spam and start harassing them."

To my knowledge this is what UCE does, there a couple of levels of blacklisting. At first the 1 ipadress sending spam is listed, as a last resort the AS is listed.

Bullshit, only stuff that has to be stored (for 6 months) from email transactions is:
-envelope from
-from ip adress
-rcpt to
-date

Which are all logged in most MTA by default. Nothing from after the DATA command has to be stored. At least till there is a lawful interception ordered by a judge.

It is still a bad idea to have to log this, but it nearly has no intelligence value.

Main force behind these kind of laws/proposals are always the parties that have Freedom (to limit others) in their name (we have a couple of them) or from a Christian background (we know that is good for you plebs).

They are on the B Ark and don't even know it.

But they didn't have a super computer at the "dark side" of the moon, even a cellphone was super compared to the thing they attempted to use.
