The N91 and the N71 uses (will) the latest version of series 60 (Series 60 Platform 3rd Edition, Symbian OS 9.1.)
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units | |

in the future symbian will get some hard competition. MS will push windows mobile on cheap phones.
some company's like evil samsung, moto, panasonic, nec, ... will push linux on mobile phones, because its much cheaper for them.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

That's true. But very few applications are for linux. So symbian would still be No.1 in the market.

The reason why S60 has more software/games available is the volumes. Mobile software developers also has to make their living somehow, so they target their applications to the platform that sells most, ie. in this case for S60. To which one would you develop, to the platform that has 20 million potential buyers or to the platform that has 1 million potential customers? |

There are more viruses that affect Windows than all other OSs put together ..simply coz there are more users

Hehehehehe, good joke... now seriously, it's not the ONLY and probably not the MAIN reason: linux/unix machines are simply much safer. I don't want to start a flame war (altough I have a feeling that I will), but just let think about this: about 90% of the computers are running MS windows, right? The rest is unix, linux, mac osx, etc. But 99.9% of the wiruses are for windows...

Not exactly... there are a LOT of linux applications for desktop PCs, and very soon it will be very easy to port these to the mobile phones. The main problem right now, as I know, is that even the phones which run on the Linux OS does not allow the installation of other native linux applications. But as soon as this will change, a lot of the PC linux apps will be ported.

I don't think Windows or Linux pose any serious threat to Symbian on the mobile market. Symbian has the backing of Nokia's market muscles and SE's innovation. Windows and Linux are not, nor will they ever be as light and nimble as Symbian, and will always need more hardware power, battery, processor, etc.
Symbian 9, and more importantly for me personally UIQ 3, will definitely be adding something interesting to the mix to keep the Symbian platform strong. |

I agree with you, especially with Nokia's recent interest in UIQ, we may begin to see an array mid range smartphones running this os. | |
