Personally I like the uiq user interface better than the S60's. Plus there are more virus attacks on the s60 than on uiq.

considering the fact that a lot more devices run on series 60 compared to UIQ, I wouldn't say that S60 is more prone to virus attacks

nokia's UIQ phone is a phone from benQ i think. or another asian brand.
nothing special.
i think nokia is feeling SE's heat and will try to compete in the future before SE finnaly realize their potential and lauch more UIQ phones on the market.

Precisely the reason.... more the users... more the virii creators.. There are more viruses that affect Windows than all other OSs put together ..simply coz there are more users

Which is series 60 2nd edition feature pack 3 edition (v8.1a)
The N91 and the N71 uses (will) the latest version of series 60 (Series 60 Platform 3rd Edition, Symbian OS 9.1.)

in the future symbian will get some hard competition. MS will push windows mobile on cheap phones.
some company's like evil samsung, moto, panasonic, nec, ... will push linux on mobile phones, because its much cheaper for them.

That's true. But very few applications are for linux. So symbian would still be No.1 in the market.

The reason why S60 has more software/games available is the volumes. Mobile software developers also has to make their living somehow, so they target their applications to the platform that sells most, ie. in this case for S60. To which one would you develop, to the platform that has 20 million potential buyers or to the platform that has 1 million potential customers?

Hehehehehe, good joke... now seriously, it's not the ONLY and probably not the MAIN reason: linux/unix machines are simply much safer. I don't want to start a flame war (altough I have a feeling that I will), but just let think about this: about 90% of the computers are running MS windows, right? The rest is unix, linux, mac osx, etc. But 99.9% of the wiruses are for windows...

Not exactly... there are a LOT of linux applications for desktop PCs, and very soon it will be very easy to port these to the mobile phones. The main problem right now, as I know, is that even the phones which run on the Linux OS does not allow the installation of other native linux applications. But as soon as this will change, a lot of the PC linux apps will be ported.
