Summer 2011 I was shopping for a low-price touchscreen-only device and remember all Symbian devices being terrible in many ways. This IIRC was during the last days of Symbian when Nokia was trying to adapt it to be a touch-screen interface. I remember a complete lack of kinetic scrolling, framerates under 30FPS and a UI that was somewhat of a clusterfuck. The browser was also terrible and realistically you couldn't browse real websites. Lastly, the cheaper devices didn't even have a capacitive touchscreen or proximity sensors to turn off the display during calls. Android devices where not perfect. There was lag (not the occasional hitch we complain about today, actual lag) from time to time, and interface was somewhat unpolished. But the browser worked. Loading full websites and using them was relatively pain-free. Scrolling through lists was responsive and the hardware was better for the same amount of money. And lastly, the Android Market had actual apps that I ended up using and Google Maps was excellent. There was hardly any comparison.
