Each client then adds itself to the sharing menu, for sending media off to your social client with one tap from Gallery.

Vanilla Android is light on social features, with just Google+, but the ready availability of first party Twitter, Facebook and other clients, most of which are pretty slick (my favourite is TweetDark), means that adding social is trivial.

Or Tweetian, or fMobi, or Facial, or facinate - and so on - at least the third party scene comes to the rescue here for power users. The keyword is 'casual' though - it's all rather slow and hesitant compared to the speed and fluidity of a standalone social client like Gravity. Out of the box, Nokia Social is effective for casual Twitter and Facebook use and for integration with Photos and Contacts.

All are an improvement on the situation with Symbian.Īndroid 4.2: 8, iOS: 8, Windows Phone 8: 8 iOS's email client has improved a lot over the years and now handles just about any generic mailbox with aplomb - the same is true for Windows Phone: no huge frills, but speedy and reliable.

Things are slightly better on Android, for which there's a serviceable email client plus a stellar Gmail one - it's still odd to have both, but as a Gmail user I'm not complaining. And the old Gmail client was never really developed beyond the one written for S60 3rd Edition, back in 2008. We've ended up with a passable client but with quirks and performance problems when handling 'rich'/HTML emails and with the severe limitation of only one Mail for Exchange account per device. Windows Phone 8 is stuck with a portrait alphabetic app menu and more draconian limits on third party app background tasks, but does have a live tile homescreen system that works well and is very customisable.Īndroid 4.2: 8, iOS: 6, Windows Phone 8: 6 EmailĮmail has always been a bit hit and miss on Symbian, not helped by Nokia's decision to experiment with hiving off email functions a few years ago and then trying to re-integrate them half-heartedly in 2010/2011. Multitasking is limited to system applications, but most third party apps now resume fast enough that only those which do heavy lifting of media will be inconvienced by the restrictions. iOS 6 is less flexible again, with no homescreens and resolutely portrait operation, though you can at least rearrange applications in the main grids, put them in folders, etc.

A hard act to follow.Īndroid 4.2 isn't far off, with full multitasking and flexible homescreen shortcuts, though the homescreens and app menu only work in portrait (unless you apply an extra utility - cough) and the app menu is fixed in alphabetic order. Running applications can be switched instantly, shortcuts placed on any home screen, the applications can be rearranged on the main menu as needed, and the whole thing works in portrait or landscape. S60/Symbian's interface is familiar and, on the whole, fast. The Android reference point is Jelly Bean 4.2 on the Galaxy Nexus (most Android manufacturers mess with the OS to slow things up with their own skins and tweaks). The Symbian reference point here is the Nokia 808 PureView/701 generation, armed with Belle Feature Pack 2. For each potential replacement platform below, I grade each out of 10 for each of the 10 areas looked at, so a possible score for each out of 100. The opinions below are based on my own experience of the various platforms as part of my Phones Show coverage and are pivoted around the functionality enjoyed by (and the expectations of) the current Symbian fan/user. I accept that ignoring hardware factors makes the comparison a little artificial, but then again removing hardware differentiators also levels the playing field and allows the various operating systems, interfaces and ecosystems to battle it out without worrying about speaker quality, glass backs, removeable batteries or 41 megapixel cameras.(!)
