Psion with Sibo (or Epoc 16) and Psion Epoc 32 have proper multitasking, great battery life, stable for years (my Revo+ completed 2 years without reboot). Take a look at their processors... Full multitasking is not related to the processor power, it is a design choice of the OS maker.

Sorry, it is not true. You have to choose the region/path to donwload manually and some time later the off line maps are erased. Why have you ommited this "detail" ? With Nokia Maps on Symbian/Maemo 5/MeeGo Harmattan I can download GB of country/continental maps.

I can't even trust Android "sequential" tasking for just reading long PDF texts and web sites in multiple tab/panels... while I can do it on N900 & N9 without problems.

I like good designed & engineered OS : EPOC was IMHO the best mobile OS in human history until now. Compared to it, iOS, Android, WP7 are a joke. Symbian is a lot worse than EPOC 32. Maemo/MeeGo are more open as they are full Linux mobile OS.
