Nokia's S60 has a terribly large application base compared to UIQ

nokia symbians are far easier to use and many great applications are offered. i gave a try once for p990, but its damn slow and very complicated.

NOT definitive enough.
UIQ - is a GUI implementation on top of Symbian OS. S60 is another.
GUI = Graphical User interface. Although the underpinnnings are the same, the core applications & how users interact & use them are VERY different.
examples of GUI's in the computer world.
GNOME & KKK - both are used on LINUX; BOTH have their OWN set of apps.
(I cannot accurately relate versions of Windows here or even versions of UNIX has unpinnings and CORE OS's are VERY different with various iterations. Access to the kernal via a TERMINAL window may share common commands but not ALL can be equally used. Thus why I left these out).
That said.
S60 Created by Nokia and licensed by Samsung, LG, and formerly Sendo (now owned by Motorola). This brings me now to ....
UIQ Created by the UIQ group and NOW owned (circa 2007) by SonyEricsson and licensed out by various other smaller companies.
NOTE: Before SonyEricsson's purchase of UIQ ... UIQ group was already working on UIQ3 - as we all saw in the P990 development stages. However, Motorola had already purchased Sendo 1 year prior to P990's announcement and worked in secret to release a NON-TOUCH Screen implementation of UIQ3.1.
So UIQ3 is touchscreen; while UIQ3.1 - as far as we all know - is unique to NON-touchscreen like in the Motorola Z8 banana phone. This is why SE hasn't announced and rumors on a Non-touchscreen UIQ3.1 device is scarce if not completely non-existent.
S60 is completely Non-touchscreen. However since Nokia's 2004 announcement of the late S90 GUI platform, they insisted that features including touchscreen was going to be implemented in some way into S60. Nokia played with 1 known device using UIQ - hardly even purchased let alone regarded as a direction. I believe this was Nokia just wasting money to playaround with touch screen implementation - testing the waters if you will, like a mudfish.
That pretty much sums it up.
PS - its much easier for even experience coders to recompile S60 apps into UIQ3 apps than vice versa.

I've been a previous user of s60 for many years, now jumped onto UIQ! Quite a few differences between both but I like the UIQ interface, and the extra ram on the p1i does help. The apps available on s60 is great, but the appz that I've got on the p1i are just as good although many apps are missing this aint a big bother to me as the standard apps on UIQ are decent enough.
