Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Symbian OS needs further development, third-party applications are limited, processing is a bit slow
  • Keyboard system could be improved; too many buttons and options menus to go through
  • Poorlydesigned onscreen keyboard, Below average web browser
  • Poor touchscreen keyboard, frustrating Internet experience, cluttered interface
  • Interface still retro in aesthetics. Web browsing lacks panache
  • Symbian ^3 not as user friendly as rival platforms, not many applications at the moment
  • User interface is abysmal
  • Symbian 3 not good enough, poor social networking app, No 3rd party application support, camera prone to fingerprints
  • No EQ customization, Camera could have had more features, Social networking integration could have been better
  • OS & UI Still Feel Dated, Virtual QWERTY Keyboard Lacks Accuracy, Default Browser Lacks Functionality
  • Symbian user experience lags competition, Still too many system nags and prompts, No QWERTY keyboard in portrait mode
  • Symbian OS can be difficult to operate, limited ‘Ovi' store
  • It's expensive. User interface is much improved, but still trails the competition in ease of use. The N8 can be sluggish. You only get a QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode, and there's no user-replaceable battery
  • Symbian^3 still looks dated, Internet browser could be smoother, Not too many apps available for the platform
  • Runs slow, Symbian^3 OS isn't user-friendly, Very few quality apps available in Ovi Store, Full virtual keyboard only available horizontally, No subsidy available for the phone
  • Mediocre browser, touchscreen issues, UI feels slow at times, weak text input options
  • The OS is a solid rebirth of Symbian that's made for touch, but there's nothing that pushes it ahead of iOS and Android
  • While no slow coach, the processing speed fails to live up to similarly billed handsets Look and Feel
  • Expensive, user interface has improved but still fails to sustain the competition, battery isn't replaceable easily, QWERTY keyboard ain't available in potrait mode, Symbian^3 is lags behind in performance compared to Android or iOS
