PC suite was designed and is used with Nokia models which use the Sx0 and Symbian OS.
Some years ago, Nokia had earned its reputation for its "human" technology, which made its interface simple for customers to shift between two Nokia phones. This "human" contuinity was, in my opinion, beautifully captured in its welcome logo where two persons join hands.
This wonderful continuity welcomed me, and millions of others, to Nokia phones over the years, so much so that the name (Nokia), its signature tune (Grande Valse), its signature morse code tune for SMS and its legendary simplicity were the key ingredients that mattered to me.
In fact, other phone manufacturers could only look on with envy, as millions were drawn to Nokia phones.
Somewhere and somehow -- and tragically so -- Nokia suddenly decided that customers needed them (Nokia) more than they (Nokia) needed customers. The best way to do so was this: 1. Suddenly drop a beloved user-friendly system with another convoluted system and 2. Ensure that the two are not fully compatible with each other.
This is best summarized in the following sentence of the previous post:
The Lumia family phones comes with Windows Phone and this is a very different system.
Why on earth was a smooth transition (transfer of contacts, messages and all other data) between Symbian-based phones and Windows-based phones not anticipated and moreover, executed? Was Nokia (and Microsoft) simply arrogant (I-don't-care attitude) so as to take its customers for granted?
When Nokia decided to join hands with Microsoft, the onus, in my opinion, should have been on Nokia to have made it easy for its customers to shift data from their "old" symbian phones to the "different" Lumia phones.
From what I have read in earlier posts on this thread, it is clear that many customers have been left to fend for themselves. For those who have the time and inclination to check up the internet, they can look up this forum for a solution.
I am, therefore, not surprised in the least that many Nokia-symbian users are divorcing their love of many years (Nokia) and are now infatuated with Android-based phones, for its consistent user system.
And guess what? For a change, Nokia can now only look on with envy. And maybe, while doing so, Nokia can also consider...
A new SMS tone: the morse code for S-O-S.
A new Nokia tune: "Help, I need somebody" (Beatles)
A new Nokia logo: Two hands that dont reach out to each other.
Nokia seems to have got a lot of eggs on its face, mainly because it placed all of its eggs in one (microsoft) basket. On the other hand, Samsung has shrewdly and brilliantly placed its eggs in three (android, bada and microsoft) baskets and can easily benefit from any one or more systems. How I wish Nokia had adopted a similar strategy.
I have been a huge fan of Nokia all these years, but I do know one thing: As soon as Nokia performs the final rites of Symbian (sometime in 2016), I will permanently switch to a non-Nokia phone. A big No-No-No-kia.
PS: I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, especially those associated with Nokia, but I'm aggrieved that Nokia slipped on a golden opportunity to take its loyal customers towards a seamless transfer of data from Symbian to Microsoft. Instead, the customers have been forced towards a seemless intricate transfer of data from Symbian to Microsoft.
