Smartphone OS

V.VAIDYA · 28-06-2011, 12:19 PM

Hello everyone,
I am a bit confused which smartphone to buy.
Should last at least 3 years.
Budget- (10,000-15,000)-can extend a bit more.
Help me decide and give me your opinions based on
1.Futureproof (future Support)
2.Number of games and apps
3.Browsing experience
4.Productivity (offic,pdf,etc)
5.Customisation (themes)
6.Popularity

My opinions >>
Symbian -- Less apps and games,Dying platform
Meego -- would have been my choice (N9) great os but dead before birth.
i-os --Apples are network tired,Costly(Separate data plan)(only one phone)
Blackberry--business platform no great games
Bada -- Don't know about it's future
Webos -- already seen it's fate (no one is buying)
Android -- too many android versions ,screen resolution.(If i bring one today
it will be out dated in 1 year)

no nokia android !
Wp7 -- lack of customisation,No phones at Rs 10,000 range

lol.... you better try create your own Mobile OS and ask Nokia to use it.

It is applicable for every OS. But choosing the right one which lasts for a period of time is your job.

I prefer Galaxy Ace / Defy for you.

1. Android. Symbian is dead. don't consider bada ever.
2. now this depends directly on Option 1. Android & Symbian have huge no of Apps. Symbian is dead. get Android based mobile.
3. Android browser FTW

4. ThinkFree Office will allow to read pdf & office docs for free. get the paid version if you want to edit.
5. Android = modular = customization.
6. nothing beats Android.
