Windows Mobile VS Symbian S60


Both operating systems are comparable in terms of speed and graphics. They are also both very
stable, however Windows Mobile does more resets than Symbian S60, but this is balanced out
by the fact that most S60 phones have a comparably small amount of RAM, which leads to more
programs shutting down when you demand a lot from the device.
Windows Mobile
- It has a better phone interface, with T9 lookup from the dialer screen. The call button also
always takes you to the dialer. In contrast with S60 you have to go to the active standby screen
before you can start dialing.
- It gives you easy access to you're hotmail account through the messaging application.

Symbian S60
- It provides better capabilities for ordering and customizing the applications screen
- It has more built in applications for useful functions such as a conversion tool for currency,
weights, etc.
- It has better support for java applications, which run natively form the underlying OS rather than through an emulator on Windows Mobile.
