why Android Phones Better Than Symbian Phones

In the Above Post tell the Difference Of Symbian And Java this Article to Tell about Android Phones
Android and Symbian are two types of operating systems which are used in mobile phones. Android as we all know is a latest version while Symbian has been here for a long time If a device uses android software, it is called as a droid. There are some features that it has which makes it superior over the Symbian devices In very few people really know about the difference between both the operating systems.

Symbian is the first developed os which has great specifications. Multi tasking is the best specification of Symbian that allows using more than one application at a time. But the main drawback of Symbian is we can’t create applications in this platform since it is licensed. Android also comes with all specifications of Symbian include multi tasking. But the main difference is it allows to create applications for free. Thus users can create android applications they need

Android devices have great range of applications. These applications are made available to the user through a market place. But in Symbian devices one can use these applications only as a third party application.

You can use the wi-fi for a long time in Android devices than in Symbian devices. The droid devices also provide great social networking facilities.

 Android is an open source operating system. You can write your own applications in android operating system. Its source code is open for all. Anybody can modify it according to his own needs. Whereas the source code for symbian system is not available to anybody and Android is only popular because it is an operating system created or developed by the Google whereas a few more persons when compared both operating systems said that they have found Symbian better than the Android system. They further elaborated saying that the cell phones having Android operating system needs to charge again and again as they consume a lot of energy or it can be said that Android is a heavy operating system whereas symbian is light operating system and need not charge and consume less energy.                                                                              
Some Important thinks Android will Better Than Symbian

Browsing – the default web browser on Android is noticeably faster than the Symbian one, specifically for large websites. It’s also much smoother to use, and seems to be more accurate when clicking links. The Android browser also offers visual bookmarks, which is handy to get a peek at each webpage, and these are updated when you open them, too.

Applications – the App Market on my Android phone allows me to browse by popularity or date added, neither of which are available on the Ovi Store (Update: this feature is now available in the Ovi Store). It also has a usable search function that actually returns relevant results, which the Ovi Store search function doesn’t always do. While browsing the App Market on Android, you can click to install an app, and then continue browsing while that application is downloaded and installed in the background.

Platform Updates – this is a two-part point. For one, any updates to Android devices are delivered over-the-air, period. There is no need to find a Windows-powered PC or any of that – it’s all done over-the-air. Symbian devices have gotten better about this, but both Nokia and Samsung continue to release firmware updates through their PC-only applications, which is lame. The second part is actual platform upgrades. When you buy a Symbian-powered smartphone, you get whatever version it comes with – S60v3, S60v3 Feature Pack 2, S60v5, etc, and that’s all you get. Most Android-powered smartphones shipped with either v1.5 or v1.6 pre-installed, and nearly all of them have been officially slated for the newer v2.0+ upgrade. This is a big deal, and now that the Symbian source is free and open source, you wonder if we’ll start to see opportunities to update later handsets like the N97 Mini to Symbian^2.    

Change the defaults – One of the cool things about smartphones is the abundance of 3rd party applications, including web browsers, messaging applications, and the like. Unfortunately, in Symbian, there’s no way to set these 3rd party applications as the default for certain actions. This is annoying, for instance, if you prefer to use Opera Mobile as your web browser,  instead of the default one. Any link you click on the phone will automatically open in the default browser, no matter what. With Android, you can change the defaults for anything, including the browser and messaging quite easily, with no hacking required.

Multiple homescreens –  The Samsung i8910 OmniaHD actually offers 3 ‘panels’ in its TouchWiz UI, but no other Symbian-powered smartphone offers multiple customized homescreens. On the HTC Eris, I have 3 with the native homescreen, or 7 with the HTC SenseUI homescreen. This is awesome and gives me more room for widgets and shortcuts to contacts or applications. The HTC SenseUI even allows me to save my homescreen setups as ‘scenes’ that I can quickly switch between – for home and work, for instance. To be quite honest, though, 7 homescreens is absolutely ridiculous, and I have trouble remembering what’s on each one. 3 is much more manageable and realistic, in my opinion. Both are better than the single option we have with Symbian^1. It should be noted that Symbian^3, which should be on devices later this year, will support multiple homescreens, so there’s some improvement being made. (the white bar above ‘phone’ indicates the current homescreen in the photo here).

Notifications – the top of the display on Android devices is for notifications. In a small strip, you can easily see the time, battery level, signal strength, system indicators (GPS, WiFi, etc), and a set number of application notifications. On Symbian, this same area takes up twice as many pixels and offers a fraction of the information. This notifications feature is perhaps the most convenient part of Android, and one that I feel is overlooked. On every other platform, new messages, emails, etc pop up in your face and you pretty much have to do something with them. With Android, these notifications are tucked out of the way in the notification bar until you pull it down to do something with them. This allows you to manage things on your terms, rather than interrupting your workflow. There is also a convenient ‘Clear Notifications’ button to quickly dismiss everything.

Onscreen keyboards – the onscreen keyboards on Android were clearly designed for touch – specifically the portrait QWERTY. Compare below, and you can easily see why it’s actually usable, compared to the one stuck on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
