Mobile help

I would say its easy on Symbian, just download it on your PC and open it with Nokia Software Installer.

To be honest, if he wants something with loads of Apps then I would try and get a little more money and go for a T-Mobile G1, it has LOADS of apps, most are free because paid ones only just came out on the market.

Stay clear of Windows Mobile, its awful.

Lolz, I agree that WM mobile isn't the best, but it's probably the best option on a low budget. And the G1 is an amazing phone but the iPhone has more apps

Of course it would have more apps... its been out for a year or two longer? :S

Applications u mean

Symbian you can download applications but it's not the eaiest process, if you go for a HTC phone you'll get Windows Mobile, which a lot easier to download apps on.

Unfortunately no one has as good menu system as the iPhone, and best menu system for Windows Mobile would be the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, my opinion.

If you want a phone like the iPod touch with the UI etc.. iPhone is obvious choice but if you want a smartphone HTC lead that Market.

You could go to the windows mobile website they have loads of phones on their that you'd probably love.

Saying that Windows Mobile is the worst mobile OS with symbian most likely coming out on top, but the only symbian smartphone that could honestly pass itself as a smartphone is the Nokia N97 which isn't out and will be expensive.

What the hell are you talking about? By definition a smartphone is, well... a smartphone. Heck, my 5800 is picked up as a smartphone, while my k850i is just 'mobile phone'.

And yes, Windows Mobile sucks balls. It is tragic to go recommending it up until the last line of your post. The Xperia X1 would be a nice phone if it didn't use Windows Mobile. As a result, it's horribly sluggish and accident-prone... like most Windows Mobile devices. Even 6.5 is shaping up to be a disappointment, by the looks of it.

And some people might find this interesting. Symbian on top (expected), but Apple have overtaken Microsoft's little venture and RIM's effort (used on BlackBerry devices).


Edit: The most interesting part of that table (for me) is that every category but Symbian has grown. So, while Symbian is still the most popular operating system on a smartphone by a long way, the chart illustrates a very well-defined point: smartphones are increasingly popular and quickly on their way up (hence the increase in all other OS platforms).

What's so bad with Windows Mobile? It's pretty basic, not much fun and lacks a lot of well-made applications but it works fine. I think it's great for it's Outlook capabilities, surfing the web (Use SkyFire) and MSN.

It's good, but slow.

It's like the full Windows Version, can do so much, but it's problems are substantial.
