I want to be excited by these news but I simply cant. Having left symbian and using it again on the odd occasion I remember why I switched to Maemo. I want Symbian to do well but that's about it. I think they will have to re-do the entire Symbian UI - get rid of blocks and double tapping, change colours/icons and stop restricting the desktop widgets to limited size etc.

But thats the thing. That is symbian as we know it. They have the possibility to do all the above things and just "sexy" it up. Which is what people would look at and adore. Because Symbian has been able to, and still can do anything iOS or Android can do (video calls years ago?). So good on Nokia to keep trying and push things through despite pressures to abandon and do stupid things like use WP7/Android.

Now what I would really like is some results on Meego. Still too early to tell but when we are blessed with this new OS, a clear solid road plan would be ideal. No more last min changes and excuses.
