Mobile Review has a review on Symbian ^3 here.
While Mobile Review has pointed out the shortcomings and remaining problems from Symbian S60 brought on to Symbian ^3, which will make its debut in the Q4 this year with the Nokia N8 phone, they have neglected a few N8 functions which make it stands out above all other phones including the iPhone 4 with the latest iOS4. Namely USB which can be used with an external storage device for file transfer, and BT3.0 which supports not only BT keyboard but also BT mouse through out its entire system.
Some may argue that the USB and BT ports are N8 hardware specific, not a part of Symbian ^3, they did however mentioned the HDMI on the N8 on their report which is even more of a hardware specific port then the earlier two.
Also, while mentioning other either not Nokia new or market new functions, they say so in a way that they are of no thrills and seemly down right ho hum boring. Yet when reporting on Apple’s iPhone, to this date even with the latest iPhone 4, no one would say that their new found ability to open new folders and or Wi-Fi video calling are nothing but 1st gen 3G phone should have functions that should have been on the 1st gen iPhone to begin with.
Neither the Nokia N8 nor the iPhone 4 are perfect. I simply think that reviewers need to be fair on each devices during their reports especially when they are directly comparing 2 or more of them.
WhaUSay?!
