With the Nokia Lumia Phones (Nokia’s Windows Phona range) here with us and focusing on the highend and midrange segment of the smartphone market, Nokia Symbian smartphones are here to fill the gap. So, even with the launch of Nokia Windows phone smartphones, most of us in Nigeria and Africa may have to be using Symbian Smartphones (especially entry level users who need cheap smartphones), since it may take a while before Nokia figures out how to build cheap Windows Phone OS based smartphones.
Symbian Phones are no longer recommended, you buy a Nokia Lumia phone instead:
