I agree. With Android comes freedom to configure the phone any way you like it. A Symbian user will feel more at home with Android. Belle is extremely easy to configure. Android is much more clunky in that respect, but also more free, new launchers and so on. The lack of configuring is the main reason I don't like Swipe so much anymore.

On the other hand, lots of people are not that keen on configuring. iOS is proof of that, but also Swipe.


Then why does Elop still fear to sell N9 in major markets alongside Lumia?
I have learned that the 808 also will sell in a limited market, maybe only France, at least to start with. And that sucks. I was optimistic yesterday, but now I am pessimistic again. A company that does not put the customer first and try to sell to him what he wants, really does not have the right to live. Doing it once or twice, OK, but with Nokia it seems to have become some sort of a political agenda NOT to give people what the want.

I will have a 808 in any case, then it will be off to Intel/Samsung land if something worth while comes out of that camp.
