With SE and HP's faster processors to run WM then all those numbers will start to change. Nokia just adding a kickstand to the N95 and calling it N96 is pretty lame. They're going to have a lot of catching up to do after 2008.]]>Feb 12th 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/
What are you smoking?

If you can compare the iPhone to a WinMob phone, certainly you can compare WinMob to Symbian.

The iPhone is, by definition, a feature phone. You can't add applications to it...so it really doesn't-IMHO-make the cut.

There are three flavors of WinMob (Smart, PPC and PPC w/ TouchFlo on top). A fourth is in development (SE's XPERIA panels).

Symbian comes in two flavors (UIQ and Series 60). A third is in development (Series 60 Touch).

It would be interesting to compare S60 to WinMob SmartPhone. I'll bet S60 is the clear leader, globally. PPC vs. UIQ, I'll bet, is a lot closer contest as the P990 did SE no favors in the global share wars and I don't know if the P1 has spurred any kind of share recovery.

I don't think that price makes a difference. It is a straight comparison of phones which run third party apps, be they touch-screen-based or smartphone based.

I can't imagine the Symbian - with years of headstart in Europe (who are years ahead of the USA in going mobile), isn't the overall leader...by a large margin.

...and just so you don't get your undies in a bunch over this, I use a Tilt.]]>Feb 12th 2008 11:53AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/Feb 14th 2008 7:56AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/Feb 12th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/Feb 12th 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/Ok, I admit, I posted without researching. Out of curiosity; why a WM device opposed to a Symbian deivce.
For what it's worth; I normally use a Vodafone v1640 (I've yet to see a device compare to the versatility of this one)

WM now because Sony Ericsson doesn't offer a UIQ phone that supports ATT's 3G bandwidths.

That said, I really am fine with my Tilt. I had an 8525 (Hermes) and found that very prone to daily lock-up. But the Tiltis pretty good. Now, if it locks up, I can mostly blame it on something I have added...or tweaked.

SE really design great products. This SE/ HTC marriage was rumoured several months ago. I for one am anxious to get back to an SE designed phone and, I must say, that while they're not the sexiest designed units in the world, the construction of the two HTCs I have had is pretty impressive. So the SE/ HTC marriage should give pretty good products.]]>Feb 12th 2008 7:19PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/Feb 13th 2008 10:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/12/give-up-77-3m-symbian-phones-shipped-in-2007/Feb 13th 2008 10:28AM
