Worth noting
While the anti British BBC shamelessly promoted iPhone even telling fat lies about it being the first smartphone and the great celebrations on Android that Europe had its own smartphone operating system. This was symbian. It did not collect or share (as it had not collected) tracking information for anyone. It ran for more than a week without charge (still does on my old phones). It provided a series of classes (it was c++) for handling strings which did not overflow, it had a system for handling the inevitable issues with out of memory. It also managed it's 'disc' writes in such a way you couldn't lose your whole phone due to a power issue at 'the wrong time' (something my crappy android has done twice now resulting in total factory start and days sorting out multifactor passwords and other accounts.
Shame the unwashed illiterate masses don't have a clue so are led by marketing lies and Medi interest driven by the inevitable back handers
Biting the hand that feeds IT
