iPhone Killer

It seems all the big boys of cell phone guys have their own OS. Research In Motion was the first with their own OS on all their Blackberries, while others used Windows Mobile.

More unveiling of new mobile OS during MWC this year. Samsung introduced their first phone, Samsung Wave, running their own version of OS called bada. Microsoft introduced their flagship OS called Windows Phone 7 Series. And now Symbian also introduced their latest OS called Symbian^3.

Here is the latest iPhone Killer from Sony Ericsson that features 8.1Mpixel camera and HD video recording, and runs on Symbian OS.

Take a look at this survey over 3 months (from Sep 2009 to Dec 2009) and you’ll see the big jump in percentage of people who would buy Android based phone from 6% to 21%. It’s also interesting to note during the same period, people who would buy Apple iPhone dropped from 32% to 28%.

Rumor is this could be the Nokia Music Xpress 5900
