As much as I agree with you about missing stuff from Symbian (former 5800 user, to N900, and now with an N8) Symbian seems like a huge step back for me. Part of the problem is I have to flash it to get Anna but otherwise it certainly is handicapped in some regards.
I might try to flash Belle or I might just sell it. Thinking the N9 might be the only thing to satisfy me now.
