This thread included a poll: How many people have you persuaded to go Symbian?

So, do you recommend Symbian devices to your friend? I do, and anybody I don't like gets an SPV recommendation 😉

Anyway, how many people have you won over to Symbian?

Just one here too I'm afraid.. -My brother got a P800 after playing with mine, no convincing necessary, he loved it straight away. Actually everyone I've showed it to wants one, but it's just too expensive for most people I guess.. I've also suggested a N3650 to people impressed by the P800, but can't afford it, but the design didn't appeal much..

I wouldn't recommend a M$ smartphone to anyone though, not even my worst enemy.. :P 😉

None for me I'm afraid. Everybody I show loves what it can do, but it's either too big or too expensive for them.

I think in the next 18 months the size thing at least is changing, hopefully we'll see cheaper s60 devices appearing also 😊

Managed to get my dad using a 9210i, but now he's complaining it does too much when all he wants to do is look at excel spreadsheets 😃

None here,not many people here own a Symbian device beacuse of the price(It rhymes 😊 and because of the foolish additude about the size but mainly its the price.You can see couple famous singers or talk show hosts with a 7650 here 😊

Jordan,i see you have changed your rank,if you hate it so much why don't you give it away for a good cause,me 😃

1 max. I have a friend who got herself a 9210i this spring but that most probably had nothing to do with me. I've been actively recommending AAS to her too but so far no success there either. 😃

Well, it's not the P800 I have a problem with really...just SE and the way they screwed me over for 2 1/2 months!

I have actually had a replacement now, which was a little strage since they told me it wasn't going to get replaced, I've had it for 2 days and the plan was just to sell it, but I couldn't resist opening it.

But I think it'll be on ebay in the next few days 😉

I wonder if name dropping that you were Admin here may have had a similar effect to being a Journo.

"What? Oh? AAS? Yes well the new one will be dispatched immediately."

Nah, fat chance of that working.
