Maybe the infinite monkeys writing shakespeare were out during happy hour and that's where Symbian comes from? Glad you agreed, Dan!

I had an E71 for a week when I was looking for a possible iPhone replacement. I really liked the hardware of the phone. It felt great in the hand, it was responsive and, over all, was a quality piece of work. I soooooooooo disliked Symbian however. Up until now I didn't know quite how to express it however. Thanks to you I do... for I too wonder.. "Was Symbian designed by a drunk monkey?" Great post!

I bought an E71 back when they came out, and used it for a solid 8mths before I was dragged away by the Touch HD because of its screen. The E71 is simply a brilliant phone, and manages to combine a super phone (good call/signal quality and battery life) with features like email, web browsing and other apps without bringing the whole thing to a halt. It still sits on my desk, waiting for me to pick it up. And with its sleek, stainless steel casing, it is incredibly tempting to go back to it... Pretty much my thoughts there as well Carly!!
