I'm looking for a smartphone with email and HTML browswer capabilities.

I only have experience with the UIQ Symbian interface and am wondering how Series 60 is.

Do you like UIQ or Series 60 the best? What differences are there?

Thanks!

In my experience, both are great for web browsing purposes. But the larger screen of Uiq phones can be considered an added advantage. That of course doesn't take anything away from series 60 based browsers. Hope this helped!

New UIQ3 will be a nice answer for Nokia Series 60



It has possibility of
"developing smaller form factor smartphones with either pen-based, touch-screen operation or full one-handed operation, providing a unique opportunity for high level code-reuse in product development and a high level of product differentiation. This also allows application developers to create applications that can be implemented on both pen-based and one-handed smartphones with a minimum of extra effort."
"...enabling development of both one-handed and pen-based smartphones, which will enable Sony Ericsson to take advantage of the growing market demand for Symbian OS phones”.

I've had the opportunity to use a number of Nokia s60 mobiles, apart from my own 6600. All of them are user-friendly, great features, etc, although i'd assume other manufacturers have similarly great features built into their handsets.

That interface seems great!! I do hope brings out a mid end smartphone to compete with s60 handsets.
