Trust me, I still find Symbian as being able to "do more " but sadly the things I do need it to do are no longer possible or becoming more and more difficult. Like I said, web browsing is a total pain on the device unless you read mainly mobile websites.
Ive been using Symbian since 2003, so id say ive quite a bit of patience as far as the OS is concerned.

Yes, the web browsing is weak.. but not a complete mess like it used to be on the older phones like the N8. If turn off java/flash/auto reload its quite quick. The problem is that that ARM11 processor simply doesn't have the raw power to handle java, and the RAM they use is way too slow for web browsing. Also, the browser itself is not written very well.
I just looked the iPhone 5s performance when it comes to browsing.. what a monster

Weak is an understatement. When I used my N8 as my main phone I would read sites like GSM arena daily. I tried recently, after 18 months of more of the web becoming more complicated, pages having ever more complex scripts running on them and I now find even Opera struggles.
Web browsing is a key part of using my smartphone. On my N8 I had to start reading mobile sites for it to even be enjoyable.

The N8 is much slower than the 808 when it comes to web browsing..

And the 808 is much slower than almost every phone on the market at the moment if you don't consider budget handsets, which is the point im making and why I now use a more up to date OS.

True, if you are doing heavy browsing you need a bigger screen and a faster browser. I personally would rather use something over 10 inches for that purpose anyway.
Did you see this comp:

Its not as bad as it use to be.. without java script it hangs with safari

But you cant carry a tablet with you everywhere you go.
Phones like the current flagships with their 5" screens, fast processors, lots of ram and brilliant operating systems now make possible what once wasn't - true convergence. The Nokias of old were brilliant convergence devices such as my N95, but now Symbian isn't strong enough to be as converged as the N95 was in 2008.

Anything over 64mm width is too wide for me.. I need to be able to use my phone comfortably with one hand, otherwise its a struggle. That's why I really like the iphone 5 / Nokia N9 / 808 type size.
I think with a bit of work they can fit a 4.3 incher into a 62mm wide chassis.. that would be ideal for me.
some crafty work here.. considering that I have 3 back covers, I might convert one into something like this.

But like the article says, if you're going to do this why not buy a DSLR in the first place ?
The whole point of Pureview is to show whats possible from a cameraphone.
