Nokias aren't much better (Score 2, Informative)

Nokia's highend handsets are running SymbianOS 7.0 and mostly their own Series 60 platform. It is not particularly stable and there are odd disparities between particular Nokia models that are supposed to run the same OS. If the OS could be updated OTA (Over-The-Air) it'd sure be neat but this won't be possible for a year or two yet. You have to go to a Nokia service center... My experience with Windows Mobile OS is that it offers pretty much the same stability. I haven't used too many applications created for Windows based handsets, but on Series 60 they are extremely unstable. Also the phones tend to leak a lot of memory and you shouldn't be surprised if you have to restart your brand new Nokia every few days. Sound familiar? Yep, but you cope with it, in the same way that you shrug when Windows decides that blue is the colour of the day. For some reason the "Out of memory. Close some applications and try again." tends to happen when you have the camera trained on some pretty girl :-( The handset will become the computer and integrate everything in itself. This I do not doubt and the industry is preparing for it already.
