Symbian and reliability was never a thing. I worked at Nokia at the time, the various Nokia phones I had rebooted more than windows 95 back in the day. Also, they were slow and the UI was pretty bad.
As for battery life, my Pixel 6 is fine. Easily lasts two days on a battery. I had a cheap Nokia Android phone before that; also fine. Stable, just worked. Fine battery life.
Symbian was pretty much obsolete before it launched. Nokia (and the other Symbian consortium members) bet against the clear trend towards mobile Linux in the late nineties. And they lost. Of the Symbian consortium, most of the companies no longer produce phones or have disappeared entirely. That's how badly Symbian lost.
- nikau 4y agoThings were simpler back then - nokia phones saved the sim pin into memory and had watch dog timers that would just reboot the phone if it locked up and use the in memory pin to unlock the sim. If you didnt happen to be watching the display at the time you would never know it rebooted.
