@ crackerjack- true, true. I wouldn't even use windows (which is, imho the most stupid os I've ever used) on my pc if I could play dII and heroes 3 in some other way. And it gave me too many headaches already, to want me having it on my SE. This message was posted from a T610

Sony is known for always coming up with something different, so why not get apple to design an operating system and stay above nokia.

Hey guys
thanks for replies.

masseur:
Im surprised with your opinion and i dont know you are big advocate of win mobile systems. Even when i do not know you, you have my sympathies, because of your every single answer to relevant topics. Im surprised because you have so many devices tested, checked, tried, and im happy i am not alone in this idea.
Somewhere in my heart there is small piece which is hoping that someone from SE manufacter will read this, and maybe they start to think about this.

yazan24:
after trying symbian, i am so dissapointed, and when i heard that symbian 9.0 is not compatible with previous versions , and application must be reprogrammed, or rechecked or i dont know what, i think this is not good step from them

scotsboyuk, and others:
i think i understand you, and in my opinion SE design and MS design are not very "compatible" too or only i can not imagine it as well. More "connected" for me is design of Apple and SE, but in these days (meaning years) is "better sparrow (windows) in the hand, then dove (apple) on the roof". For me its more important today status-quo of windows mobile system functionality, or possible connection and synchronisation with pc then design. And design of win is not that bad imo.

Well ofcourse we would want Apple to create a mobile OS, since Mac OS X is just a UNIX-based operating system (Apple didn't make the whole core from scratch otherwise it wouldnt be a UNIX-based system).
But saying we should get Apple to do a new core for a mobile, wouldn't it be better to go straight for the people who write UNIX/Linux kernels instead? I'd love a KDE or Gnome system on mine, even just using korn or bash would suit me well as long as I can place a call.

I have used BeOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Slackware. They work great if you know how to use them and they don't crash (unless I run new alpha/beta code as root *grins*).
I never touched a Mac (have nothing against em except the price so I'd probably love it!!). Oh anyone who wants to gimme the new Mac mini? It's so darn cute.. though I'd love a Mac with double G5 *sighs*.

I have used Windows since 3.1 (no not 3.11 ) and I totally love Windows XP Professional. Works smooth, had my bugs and crashes when I still used the beta. After that I only had 2 bluescreens and those where my own fault (unplugged hardware when it was still in use *grins*).

Hmm Symbian, works ok and I'm still puzzled if Symbian is the core or if UIQ is the core... But the UIQ would be like BIOS for a PC?! and Symbian ehm.. like Windows (yeah I know, just love windows OK? ok )?! *puzzled*.

Rant over... I think... Conclusion... ehm.. somewhere over the rainbow... Gimme a Pxxx with a new os or improve Symbian/UIQ and I will be nice... for like an hour. =)

What about allowing us to choose what we want, symbian/windows.

Its better if palm os or symbian or linux. I dont need bill to dominate over se or any phone. Also, we can change computing platform without worring abt compatibility. This message was posted from a WAP device

I would be very happy if SE made a phone with Windows in it - but I doubt that it will ever happen! A decision to use Windows would not go too well with SE's parent (Sony - Japan) for obvious reasons (PlayStation v/s X-Box being one of them!)

Those who don't believe in anything but Symbian should give the Imate-Jam a try. It's darn good!

As a software developer, I can safely say that it's far easier to code for a Windows' mobile phone than it is for a Symbian phone. Porting your existing Windows application and cutting it down in size (and features) is much simpler too! The same is true when it comes to expanding your mobile applications for use on a Windows desktop PC.

I don't intend to start a war of words, I'm just trying to bring out the fact that Windows is now a serious contender for mobile phones and that a large number of companies are going to see the benefits of shifting from Symbian to Windows!

Cheers!

@ anand, well i think your absolutely RIGHT.

i work for a television company, and i have noticed alot of people have opt for Pocket PC Phones then ever before, etc contractors, and many taxi drivers too (mini cabs) apparently alot of taxi drivers use them because they recieve call outs on there PPC phones to say where they have to pick up there fairs, i seen it its kinda cool and alot of couriers use them as well, when the courier comes into my work place and they give me a package, i used to sign it on a piece of paper to say i have recieved the package, now they expect me to sign it on there PPC phone, good stuff. and alot of staffs have them too, i guess PPC phones are endless possibilities unlike the symbian which i have used before and kinda limits my work.

but who knows it might be worth it.....
its just a different thing to have something non-windows for a change!
