I like A200 still its the best although I am awaiting a decent smartphone from
without Symbian ie X10
I had an old P800 & P900 when they first came out I liked them although a little bulky. But A200 is great no more Symbian though

As long as Symbian, Maemo and Android are around, il never get another SE A200, A300 or what ever other Java dumbphone they make. They are realy cute though, that Aino is sweet but it simply looks better than it realy is.

Only thing I was missing on my k850, was lack of wi-fi
Otherwise, just perfect for my purposes

K850i ... a momental design change for
great initial sales and took a long time to get used to by end users due to the O-Pad. The O-pad hampered classical gaming experience.

I see many people generically hating or dismissing Symbian ~ even if they where fans of P800/P900/P910 (still love the design of that, never got to own one)/P1i/W960/W900. What many of the new-found haters realize is although S60 5th Edition/Symbian^1 is utter CRAP(!), the core power of multitasking, efficient battery life (even with low mAh battery's), and power of using almost universally coded apps [C++/.Net ported to C++/J2ME is a weakspot/Python/Ruby/etc] is still there. The GUI and call management with networks for inbound calls and simplicity of menus is a dire need before ANY of us should consider a newer powerful smartphone using it. For now I have to agree with most that its no longer suited for the smartphone market. It does still have competitive potential, and its up to Symbian-Foundation members to deliver. Don't expect much until 2011 though.
A300. I have NO CLUE what to expect because nobody has really stated or rumored what its to encompass. I'm in particular keen interest with JSR271 ... a specific alteration of J2ME that allows so much power (including headless J2ME apps, all apps running under one powerful Runtime that handles memory management dynamically, and allows apps to truely run simultaneously EVEN if no direct display to the end user). From what we know of BlackBerry's doing this already, and RIM following suit with Flash (like Capuchin) in the OS core, there is some SERIOUS MOBILE potential out there.
PS: yes I did a shameless plug and will write specifically about it once again soon.
