This is my 3rd Nokia smartphone (previously I had a 6110 Navigator and a N73), I always buy Symbian because there are lots of applications for it out there. The only drawback of 5800 XM is the mediocre camera, but I thought it’s an acceptable compromise between the price and other features. Symbian has been around for almost a decade now, S60 being the most popular edition of them all. You can find a huge number of applications out there, most of them free and others at a fairly reasonable price. Android is still new and I don’t think its application base will surpass Symbian within the next 18 months. Personally I prefer an S60 device over Android right now. But things will change, since google is such a powerful player. Having said that, most average users don’t install that many 3rd party applications, I consider myself to be an above average Smartphone user, but I only have few IM clients (Fring, eBuddy) a couple of GPS applications (Garmin Mobile XT, GoogleMaps), a browser (Opera Mini) and an Email client (Gmail mobile). I normally don’t play games, so I don’t have any, but there are lots of Symbian games out there if you are interested.  As for other features like Music, I think the built in music player is pretty good (can organize music by play lists, artist, genre etc.. , supports album art, custom equalizer settings with special effects and a easy to use interface), whats more 5800 has a dedicated audio processing chip which allows it to play MP3s up to 35hrs!! I don’t have experience with Android but I have used Windows Mobile phones. and I prefer S60 over WM mainly due to performance.If you want to buy a phone immediately then get a 5800, but if you are not in a hurry and can wait another 6 months. Then I’d say wait, because phone technology is changing very rapidly now, therefore  in 6 months I’m sure you can buy a phone that is twice as better as what you can buy today (e.g : 10MP + camera, high res huge LED touch screen,  32GB+ storage etc..)</blockquote>
