Most people don't have any idea what a smartphone is and whether the one they use is a smartphone or not. This usually leads to problems like the phone crashing or getting infected by a virus. In such cases usually the phone is blamed rather than the person using it. Also most people never make use of the full potential of their smartphones mainly due to the lack of knowledge. Its really sad to see an N70 being used only for calls, messages and music playback. So unless you really need a symbian phone, unless you really are gonna make full use of it, don't go for it. No matter what your friends say. There are plenty of non smartphones out there which will satisfy all your needs.

All well and agreed but main problem arises is the computing power in these cell phones. Most of the phones just can't handle the array of activities that many users do i.e. multitasking. That has been a big problem with Nokia phones. I'd like to make full use of my Nokia 3230 and I can but it's so slow that it irritates me. I am not saying it should have power of a personal computer. Nokia 6630 on the other hand is really fast enough, now if 3230 was that fast, I wouldn't have had a single problem. But, now in 3230 they haven't included an FM, which is a necessity for many people even though you can store a lot of songs in the phone.
