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.
symbian s60! buti nga lumabas ang android at iphone OS para maging competitive naman ang symbian
@abeolandres most probably the same windows mobile smartphone I have right now. But then, I wouldn’t have gotten it for the same price.
SYMBIAN. It is still the best mobile phone OS for me. I’m excited for the arrival of Symbian^3.
Symbian. Hard habit to break.
sana meron din ubuntu mobile version para iwas virus.
If we did not have the iPhone, maybe the touchscreen form factor would remain a niche design.
Nokia E72 + Blackberry Bold 9800
@abeolandres symbian s60 by nokia would top my list… It would probably be the smartest phone around if that happened…
Symbian
Symbian, of course. :) Napaka user friendly. =)
HTC HD2 or the BB Storm 2.
@abeolandres a Nokia Sir Abe para long lasting! Especially for the brownout season =)
@abeolandres Naturally, NOKIA!! Hehe. Nokia 5230. I think I was destined for this phone.
@abeolandres Still BlackBerry
Symbian ako. :)
Hd2 no doubt
Symbian.
been using samsung wave for a week now and i must say the price was worth it if compared to Iphone 4 not a lot of apps but the specs are comparable to the iphone the super amoled screen is awesome
a yahoo phone could have appeared in an alternate world… built in yahoo mail, search, messenger and video chat
otherwise, symbian still rules until today which iphone & android still can’t overtake
I’ve always been a win mobile and symbian user
