Symbian Belle FP2 is the final stage of Symbian development for smartphones such as Nokia 808 PureView, 603, 700 or 701, and Refresh for E7, N8 and all first-generation smartphones released in 2010 (except Nokia 500). However, for all Symbian ^ 3 smartphones, updates continue to be released that improve stability and add new features, which makes us wonder why everyone considers Symbian so dead, forgotten and abandoned?
The active Symbian community is admirable. Symbian OS began to be buried two years ago, but there are still updates for both applications and the system itself, new programs, new articles about Symbian, such as this one, and even games. This all indicates that Symbian has not died yet and this is unlikely to happen soon. The author of the article, on the basis of which this article was written, compares Symbian with The Rolling Stones, that is, with classics, and relatively “new” systems, such as Android and iOS, with Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. They are insanely popular and meet modern requirements, but have they withstood the test of time? Now Symbian is not quite in trend and this is not something that is popular among young people, but it still means a lot to a lot of people, it is that they will always “listen” to what they love and what they are used to, Symbian will not be forgotten for a long time. The analogy with the pub is also appropriate, all these new night clubs are very attractive, but it's nice to go to some familiar place where the bartender calls you by name, you know where everything is located, you know what is served here, you even have your favorite place , it is very comfortable and cozy.
So why are we using Symbian now, in June 2013? Personally, I love the maturity and quality of the system. Symbian for more than 15 years and a lot of “chips” that still appear in Android and iOS appeared in Symbian many years ago, for example, such as rejecting SMS calls (announced in iOS 6) or multitasking (iOS 7), which is still until then, it didn’t reach the Symbian level, even with the much improved hardware, which is now available, but was not available at the time of the heyday of Symbian. Smartphones on this system have many things that are really useful in everyday life, for example, an FM transmitter, a high-quality camera, true multitasking limited only by system resources, over which the user has full control, excellent battery life, and a file manager (a stone in the garden iOS and Windows Phone), great maps,
The Nokia phone feels premium, delicate work on every element of both the design and the system. Even those who look at Symbian with contempt cannot but agree with this (although some carefully hide this). The quality and excellent work of Nokia can be seen to this day, in their Windows Phone smartphones, in Asha half-smartphones. If the phone is inexpensive, this does not mean that it should look like a shapeless and low-quality something, Nokia is working hard even on budget models.
The specific features of the system itself and the smartphones on it is not the only thing that makes people stay with Symbian. I can do on Symbian the same as on iOS or Android: receive mail, read and write on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc., upload my photos and videos to Flickr, Molome, Vkontakte, Youtube, I can watch movies and listen music, register in Foursquare, read news via Pocket, download videos from Youtube and view your news feed, edit photos and apply filters, get directions, Symbian can be my personal trainer or help me stay on a diet, keep me informed about the value of stocks, lead my to-do list, be my notebook, keep my password This list could go on beskonechnosti.Rabochie tables kastomiziruyutsya no worse than on Android.
Yes, Symbian will no longer be the most advanced and most popular system, and does all the actions, it may not be the same speed, but a little slower, but I don’t need it, I like that it can be a reliable companion in my life, without frills, but with excellent quality, work time and other nice things that I really need, unlike a bunch of cores, a gigabyte of RAM, which is almost all occupied by the system and an unoptimized shell, FullHD display resolution, the advantages of which I will never see, but which is required t more memory, increased power and subsequently power consumption. The lifespan of a smartphone has decreased dramatically nowadays, new models come out almost every day, and flagships are already every six months.
This article has nothing to do with the fact that Nokia stops delivering smartphones to Symbian and is not “dying,” just the opposite, drop all biases and happily use your Symbian smartphone, no one takes it from you, don’t look at others, those who scream about death, like a madman in an alley assuring the imminent end of the world, or those who say that nothing comes of it, is complete nonsense. The modern world is changeable, popular artists replace each other, yesterday Spice Girls and Fatboy Slim, today Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, tomorrow Taylor Swift, but the time-tested classics remain.
Thank you all for reading, I hope I took your time not in vain!
