I loathe the state of the mobile device market in the year 2022.
I'm long past the stage of being angry about it. The big phone manufacturers are going to do whatever they think will make them most money. I carry a dumb phone.
I had several Nokia 9300 and 9500 smartphones because I wanted a qwerty keyboard. They used Symbian series 80. The software was infuriatingly buggy and trying to get an official Nokia service center to upgrade the software properly was more hassle than it was worth. (Upgrading the software properly required upgrading both the firmware and some included apps that were stored on the SD card, it could only be done by a service center.)
Most likely, the buggy software was mostly the fault of Nokia that made their own UI rather than the symbian consortium that made the base OS.
