What is it with you lot and your Nokia vs
obsession (and yes, I can see that that the title says S60 vs UIQ, but your nick and other posts kind of gives it away!)?
We have done this argument to death in every conceivable format, which you would soon find out if you would care to try the search, and then we wouldn't need to waste server space with all these duplicate threads

lol @dave_uk please dont tell me about the search because the esato search purely sucks, one time i typed in the search "pictures taken with the s700" and that was it and it brough up 100,000's of threads which had nothink to do with what i was looking for.
but anyways, about s60 v uiq i signed up to the 3 network last saturday and i had to get a 3g handset with so there was a motorola and a nokia to choose from, the guy at the carphonewarehouse said the motorola's had problem with batter and signal, so i picked the nokia 6630 which has symbian, and i have to say i am very impressed, its quick and easy to use, and has all the software features you need, now if that Nokia 6630 Operating system was in a sony ericsson it will be the dogs dangleys, perfect. and if i am not misstaken i heard that sony ericsson will bringing out symbian 60 on there next "p" ranges with 3g which will have buttons of course, if thats the case then that will deffenetley be my next phone

SE taking up s60 interface? Its sound impossible as nokia owns most of symbian. :-)
Posted by upper
@Nokialoverx well everythink has a price
well thats what i heard in the esato forums, i hope its true 
Posted by Nokialoverx
I also heard people saying how k700i interface is better than 6600 interface.How pathetic is that! And how you call a normal phone like k750i perfect? Listen to me people, no phone with has an absence of symbian is perfect and that a fact! :-*

So wat?Its the most flexible range ever created in cellphone history
Posted by whizkidd
More confusing than flexible. And the series 60 interface is a big joke. Of course its my opinion. I say this because i currently use a s60 device. But i love series 60 for its capabilities. Really great value for money!

Thats the main priority.All that glitters is not gold

s60 has all rubbish applications while i dunno...abt UIQ tho i got p910i i got many usefull applications not lyke s60 call cheater and all
Posted by Marcus_129
S60 Is the worst and most crappy OS i have ever used. Iīm using a 6680 right now and nothing works on this phone because of s60. No donīt try to lie to people here that itīs better than SEīs.
T68 had better OS than s60
Posted by Nokialoverx
pmpl.You must be joking!
Posted by xpx
Marcus, apperantly you have no idea whats the capable of this OS, i suggest you to search on google and type series60 applications =)
BTW guys! just to clear this thing up, Series 60 is Fully Run and developed by nokia while UIQ is an idependent company which is only licensed by other campany such as SE, Arima and MOTO. Nokia can simply licensed UIQ if they wanted to..
Cus im assuming that MOST of you guys are also assuming that UIQ is own by SE just because Pxxx has it. not true!
Posted by Marcus_129

Sure I know itīs lots of applications out there. Lots of great ones, but the OS demand so much more from the phones today than what the phones can deliver. For the most people a K700 and K750 is far greater, but if you want to have a pretty crappy GPS function or a slow phone, then yes buy a S60
Posted by Nokialoverx
A perfect phone must have symbian!
Posted by whizkidd
The perfect phone for YOU should have symbian. Not everyone require a smartphone. For some, the k750 or the s700 is a perfect phone. The notion that your choice is better than others because you think so is nothing less than childish.
Posted by mrao
It pretty much boils down to what one wants from a phone...and btw..most folks who own a smartphones hardly ever use it to its full "smart" potential...so if someone wants a basic call/text phone, symbian or the lack of it does not matter in the evaluation of whether its perfect or not..Having said that, what good is the ultimate symbian device, if it does not have simplicity in call/text functions ...add relatively crappy battery life, and bugs???
Posted by Residentevil
Series 60 and UIQ are both Symbian. What OS is T630, K750? Are they Series 40?
Posted by knight4led
No, they are
s own OS. Doesn't have a name as far as I know.
Posted by govigov
As i have said b4, the UIQ does the job very much classier than S60. Agreed both are powerful, but if you use a UIQ, there is no turning back to S60.
Posted by mrao
@res... t630, k750 etc ..basically all se phones except p series have the proprietary se os ...
Posted by swipe108
In opinion SE proprietary is better. there's so much less risk that psychos will create viruses for it.

Nokia owns the WHOLE S60 interface, does not own whole symbian.
Why do people keep mixing things...
Your idea is right. The way you back it up is wrong.
I'm tired of explaining it... i'll just let you make a fool of yourselves and show that you don't know s*it about Symbian, S60 and UIQ...
Posted by Rifqi_Aziz
Let's back to the title: S60 vs UIQ and no more discussion or comparison about S60 vs SE Propietary OS because it's obviously different. OK?
I had been using UIQ on my (was) P900 and also have been tried S60 sometimes of my friends and I think UIQ is much better and easier than S60. That's it.
Posted by Cenfi
yeah, I agree.... uiq2 is better than s60. i hope uiq3 will be much better.
Posted by shmotash
are you stupid Nokialoverx or are you just here to piss people off?
Firstly, Nokia does not "own" the Symbian OS. Symbian is a software licensing company that develops and supplies the advanced, open, standard operating system Symbian OS for data-enabled mobile phones.
Symbian established as a private independent company in June 1998, owned by Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Psion.
SO ... NOKIA DOES NOT "OWN" MOST OF ANYTHING. THE COMPANY IS OWNED EQUALLY BY THE MENTIONED MANUFACTURERS.
Secondly, S60 vs UIQ ??? Discussed this millions of times but here it goes again ....
UIQ Rulez hands down ... no question about it.
Posted by Krubach
Sorry shmotach, but i think Nokia currently has 51% of Symbian.
Posted by mib1800
Both S60 and UIQ are designed for different device type (pen & thumb-based). No point in comparing them. UIQ should be compared to S90.
Posted by Prom1
1st - I'd like to mention that as long as we can accept each others opinions, then this wont end up as a childish thread.
However facts. Symbian OS "IS" and idepently run company run by founders that bought the licensing rights from Psion - the company that made the Psion clamshell PDA's before PocketPC's existed. Nokia right now owns roughly 41% not a controlling stake but very close; there was an uproar last summer because Sendo was pulling out and selling their stock to Nokia would've given it controlling stake. Nokia almost did it but with pressure from SE, Motorola, Panasonic & other companies on the decision process board withdrawn from the entire stock purchase from Sendo; then Sendo's stock was divided evenly between the others.
Correction I may be wrong about Sendo selling Symbian OS stock but everything else is close.
Series60 User Interface IS owned by Nokia; they license the right to use it & modify it to other company's.
Opinion/Fact: the way a user interface for Symbian OS looks - whether you feel crappy or amazing -> whether S60/S90, S80, or UIQ -- depends on your ability to see all the themes created for each. If you only see one, that's like saying you've seen a 38yr old woman who's from one part of the world and decide all are outta shape, hairy, and ugly. Boy dont do that, because there are very HOT 38yr women out there that would put the beauty of a 21yr woman to shame in EVERY department
incl under the sheets. Same goes for the Symbian OS UI's.
S60 was designed to be simple to navigate to get to different apps and look more like traditional phones. UIQ was meant to showcase more screen realestate and the power of touchscreen. My preference is for S60, because the multitude of phone ranges & styles available to me. The only UIQ phone I found useful & stylish is the SE Pseries; unfortunately for me there STILL expensive for my 1-time purchase budget & dont currently offer EDGE data speeds. Moto's UIQ phones are just all ugly in design, so I wont touch those until thats fixed.
In range of applications & power UIQ & S60 are pretty much neck & neck. I havent found one app that is available on one that isnt on the other; if so then anothe r app by a different name that offers similar features is available.
Just be happy its all about choice; the GUI, the phone company, and styling.
With Windows Mobile OS; choice is limited to the phone manufacturer - mainly HTC/HP/Samsung possibly Dell? and to the styling thats rebranded so many times. ie. Jam, Universal, BlueAngel, etc.
Posted by Kryptik
I wholeheartedly agree, different strokes for different folks. I've been happy with s60, as i have with s30 and s40. I was also happy with my 1st NEC, as i was with my old Ericsson. It's what you make of a phone that determines its worth to you. Bitchiness is really childish, so what's the point? Live and let live.
