1. Dude I know there are apps which offer that, but with Nokia they come preloaded on the phone. Why do I need to go the market for the most basic things. From a security point of view, how many average users will actually load a remote wipe app?
2. I'm not just thinking of myself but what about the average user? Android poses a huge security risk without a remote wipe app. Employees are increasingly storing important work info on their devices. It's really such a basic thing to have a remote wipe function. And the average user doesn't even know how to setup the screen lock code. Nokia's menu is much easier to use for the average user
3. Maps. Do you know how much data Google maps uses? I use wifI most of the time so I don't a big bundle. Nokia Maps uses a negligible amount.
4. Task list. I can't for the life of me understand why the calendar and task list is separate on android. I've tried several apps but none have done it well or even reasonably close to Nokia which has been refined over many years.
5. As I said, I have an Android tab (Galaxy tab). I love Android for my tab. Android tabs are brilliant.
6. I love certain apps, but lets be honest what point do the vast majority serve? Free apps are truly pathetic due to ads. I hate ads. Some apps are awesome and yes I know Symbian couldn't offer them because developers dont care to develop for it. Great as an ereader too. Angry birds is very cool, but i've got a console so I don't need my phone or tab for gaming.
7. So my personal opinion for a phone, Nokia N8 seems a really good proposition. However, as I said since Symbian is dead, as a result I have serious doubts otherwise it would be a much easier decision.
Ps. I setup my sisters blackberry. its absolute crap.
1. Yes, clicking a few times is a herculean effort. Fortunately you don't have to install anything since remote wipe is a standard feature of Android.
2. If someone is retarded enough to store confidential information on any smartphone, pc or any other internet-connected device without taking security measures, they don't deserve that device. Also, see point 1. Also, Android inherits the Exchange server's security policy when you set up the account. You don't know Android.
3. Not much. I used almost 20MB today Streetviewing a hell of a lot of places. Also, you can download any maps available for Symbian or Nüvi devices and use those in a myriad of ways with the right program. You clearly don't know Android.
4. It's not. wtf are you talking about? have you ever really used an Android phone? You don't know Android.
5. Android tabs are ****. They're giant cellphones with much fewer pixels per area on the screen and the camera, just like Apple tabs. If you want a phone, use a phone. If you want a tablet PC, get a proper (older) one running Windows. You don't get the point of Android.
6. Well you can either not look at ads, or get an (also free) ad blocker. I know, googling is teh hard. I actually sort of agree with you that gaming is not a major point, but then again, it seems you just don't understand Android.
7. It seems more like you need an iphone now, rather than a Blackberry. Let someone else make your decisions for you, don't worry about installing the right thing or leaving important data on your phone. Uncle Steve will delete it if some naughty children steal it. Provided you synced with his service everytime and paid your club dues.
