Introduction
in

A mobile phone is a mobile phone and to make a phone call you probably don't mind its speed. But a Symbian OS based mobile phone can be a little bit more. And from a developer and user point of view, it is interesting to be able to compare the speed of your phone.

We have tested seven phones running different version of Symbian OS and Series 60 platform:
