I m not talking about comparing with android or iOS but does it have enough apps(especially games) to keep me entertained? Its gonna die but if it already has enough apps then i wont have to be worrying about less support from nokia after 3-4 years
If you can live with the basic apps. It will be alright. For example
1 For IM: Nimbuzz(its great)
2 Its got Skype for voice calls
3 Its got a facebook app
4 Its got angry birds
If you do not want the top iOS and Android apps, you are good to go. Besides, Symbian is still adding more apps even if the rate is slow. Just do not forget to get a Symbian Belle device, preferably with a 1ghz processor to make sure you can upgrade it to Symbian Carla.
Only if you buy the right Symbian phone. Make sure you buy a Symbian Belle handset since those are the only phones that will have enough apps to keep you entertained.
