Its true, its much easier to fix than the stuff under the hood. It was so simple, Nokia screwed it up twice in 3 years even with a HUGE r&d budget!
The UI overhaul on n97, horrid.. horrid experience
The UI overhaul on n8, more consistent but still feels like early 2000.

There's absolutely no reason to expect them to be successful a 3rd time round. The problems are probably due to
- 10+ year old Symbian code turned to spaghetti, code changes very difficult to make without a domino effect over the rest of the code
- poor poor project management and 9am-5pm paycheck Symbian developers who are there just to fix bugs.. not rock the boat

i get the impression the Symbian software department was so fundamentally broken it could not be fixed without mass firings

Only the cheap kind. He would suffer so much being touched by them cheap ones, or we should just pay that experienced Arab who threw them at Bush, he won't miss this time.

S^4 was supposed to be a huge overhaul. The team probably took their time to create a UI that would last another decade. The OS is the most optimized, can't go wrong with that.

N97 didn't have any new UI, it just introduced widgets. When it was first introduced in the trailer, most were impressed. Slow hardware gave Symbian bad rep. If they continiued the OMAP 2420 route, all would have been perfect.

sony ericsson - look at the x10 and others, no 2.2 for them at all and no xda devs port so far.

lg - piss poor in general.

htc are ok but still make hardware which is questionable in terms of durability - screen issues and the old htc tytn 2/ nearly all htc phones video driver problem for which i have not forgiven them ( i owned a tytn2).

the only other option is th eiphone and ill be lloking closely at the iphone 5 but id rather a nokia build with wp7. ultimatley we all more or less started with win mo anyway so its just continuing the trend.

theres no need for anyone to abandon ship unless you think for some reason the grass is greener on the other side.

still happy with my n900.

Google Nexus S. That is all.
