Linux, Microsoft or Symbian?

I'm planning to buy a new smartphone but I don't know which OS is better ~~~
Anyone has any comments?

Symbian

But go with a Nokia. I would wait for 7610.

Don't know a thing about Linux OS on phones.

Go for Symbian since it's an open system and any developer can make and release programs for it but on Microsoft OS the developer needs to get the program approved and pay for that therefore rarely find free programs.

As for what type of Symbian phone, either touch screen or not. Your call.

When its out i would say that Linux OS would b the better one to go for.

Its open source and the technology has been around for years so its as stable as houses!

But if its just been realesed for smart phones but then its got the backing of NEC, Samsung and motorola so its probaly good from the word go!

MS's smartphone OS is clumsey and just rather vial to use.
