False morel
Ive been satisfied and so have many others thus the huge growth in Android share.
What are these "major" aspects that Android is trailing behind in?
I do agree that Android's update to Gingerbread MAY not be as big as S^3, it makes sense as Android isn't in need of any major updates like Symbian is. The API level in Gingerbread is higher than Froyo though, and from what some have picked up in the latest Gmaps update, there is going to be a lot of tweaking under the hood, and even higher quality software.
By the way have Nokia now released the new dev tools for the new UI to app devs,as i read at AAS that these updates will require devs to update their apps to.
At SEE, if you look at the link above they said 1st half, i didnt see anything about January.

Good. That's why I stated it's goes down to a matter of choice and priority.
So stop generalizing, and suggesting that Symbian is inferior to Android whereas many out there disagree with that!

Efficiency! This is important, maybe the most important in a smartphone while you, and Android users in general, somehow trying to underestimate/devalue this factor!
Capability, in the sense of diverse funtions it can do/offer..
And this list of things each OS can't do can go quite longer.. But I'm really bored at this stuff as I'm discussing it much lately..
Just wait for the updates, and the new figures of Q4 and the yearly figures as well.. Maybe then, we'd have nothing to discuss really, as everything would get quite obvious..

Well, you made me check for this as you're stressing too much on this point.. May I ask why doesthe exact date make such importance for you?!
But anyway, I might be wrong! To be honest, I checked the direct official sites where most probably I got this piece of info from, but yes, all what I've got if first half! I didn't search thoroughly though and wont do it!
All I had in mind, is the updates to come in packages starting January..
Hopefully I got that from a reliable source..

"Nokia reaffirms commitment to Symbian platform"? When will we see the headline saying 'Developers return to Symbian after a brief visit to Android and OS X?' Will that be the same day we have to carry umbrellas even during sunny weather to avoid being hit by pigsh!t since pigs have grown wings and taken to the air?

Android's System itself is effecient,the main battery drain is the displays and always on data connection- updates being pushed, apps/widgets refreshing location info if youre on the move etc...
Capability? Android OS itself is very capable, havent found anything the OS itself cant do compared to Symbian.
The reason why i care about the specific date is because i should be receiving a Nokia N8 in the next week or so for review, and even they just say 1st half. It's all good though ,i'll have more time to go deeper into S^3 and compare to Android, as the last time i handled the N8 was for just for a few mins as i said.

Symbian does all of those functions, yet more efficiently..
As to capability shortcomings, you'll have to google them.. There are some differences. And that not to mention that it's true Froyo brought some needed features along the way, but also some bugs and lags as well.
Here's where Symbian's maturity comes on top of things..
But as I said, both have huge potential.. Though I prefer the Symbian approach with the Qt SDK, and the smart solution for compatibility issues..
We shall see if it would bring teh success expected and leave Symbian at its current spot.

Well, I'll have to wish you some good time with teh handset. I know you will..

That Galaxy wih the flash should be the Epic 4G.. It's the only "version" of the Galaxy family in the US the have flash, as well as 4G network support..
All other three versions aren't euipped with a one..
And more importantly of course, the international version as well!
