If we didn’t have the iPhone and Android…

Had this interesting discussion the other day about the mobile landscape — had Apple not invented the iPhone and Google didn’t get into the mobile OS market and developed the Android platform.

Of course we will still have Symbian OS, Windows Mobile 6.5, BlackBerry OS, Samsung Bada and a host of other mobile OSes.

So discounting the iPhone OS (iOS) and the Android OS and while all the other handsets remained the same as they are today, which one would you have preferred using?

My guess is that the top contenders would be any one of the ff. handsets — Nokia N900, BlackBerry Bold 9700, HTC HD2, Samsung Wave, among others.

    Parang di ko nakita ang (ancient) Palm OS. Hehehe buhay pa ang treo 650 ko (though I’m not using it). I’m not a fan of transitions or any similar eye candy (I’ll turn them off if possible anyway) so the old Palm OS did it for me back then, snappy and simple (if it had a refresh or just got around the limitations, and the bulk of the devices, I might even consider it now).

    Right now I’m using a Symbian phone. I’ve had three of these in different versions and it’s pretty much the same experience, slow and sort of steady. But I’m not always in a hurry I guess hehe.

    I’d say Sony Ericsson’s OS, but since I got a BlackBerry, I’m just loving it.. so +1 to BlackBerry OS!
