You're just lazy. I have nothing but a list of gripes every time I jump on an XP machine (gripes I never had before Win7).Yeah but I could install Win7 if I wanted.

It's like preferring Symbian over Android, you obstinate orthodox outfit of OS operators.

There's no reason to not prefer Symbian over Android. Symbian had tethering, modem functionality, radio functionality, penta-band, unlocked/rooted functionality, SD cards and many many applications before Android (that are just now being ported - example being the Javascript engine of Kinoma Play) came along. EDIT: Add OTA upgrades, FM transmitters, superior camera options, better speakers, integrated kickstands and hardware cues, a much better music player (that includes a better PowerAmp version), and I could go on for days.
Your example is like saying people should prefer Windows on ARM over Windows on x86 simply because it's newer and better. That doesn't discount that the legacy and support for x86 is still superior in every way.
The only true way Android has been better than Symbian all these years is the fact that while walking around I had a phone in my pocket that I could code in Java/HTML5/Python any time of the day, so long as the layering was applied to the SDK.
P.S. Only now is Android pulling ahead of Symbian head and shoulders with the latest slew of phones, and the Symbian platform's death. Otherwise, yeah.

Much of the stuff you listed on the software side is shared with Android. As for the hardware side, that's completely device dependent. The applications and hunting down/acquisition was a pain in the ass, as was rooting and messing with custom ROMs. I pretty much hated all of my Symbian applications. Google music works fantastic for me for what little use it gets, and I haven't seen a more superior video player than Mobo Player on ANY device (options for soft decode playback when hardware can't decode, it's like switching to ffmpeg, peformance of that varies with device obviously). I've been able to find much better apps and then some ever since I switched from my Samsung Innov8 to the Samsung Galaxy S. There isn't a single thing I really miss from my old phone with the exception of FM radio (but even that was annoying since the wire coming out of the jack acted as the antenna.
Symbian development could have turned up something that rivaled Android, but Nokia dropped the fucking ball on that one. I was more than happy to depart.
