Well, you want me to use a plain firmware phone because OS will expose me to risks?Thats like saying, use the 8008 computer (first intel chip, no OS, all u cud do was flip-flop lights on it), because all OSes can expose me to risks.And regarding symbian being unpopular & exposed to viruses, may I inform you that its the same case with Windows? But simply because of its compatibility with software already existing out there, & its low-cost, it owns the market.No OS can ever be secure for a "masses person" who wants to behave like an ass.You managed to survive windows & get your work done.So did millions of others.I managed to survive symbian, and I can assure you I did not have to take any special efforts for it.So did millions of other ppl who use smartphones.So will viralbug.Now please, I'm tired of the opposition to OS phones, spare me.
