Andres you’re kidding right? success of Windows was because of behaviour consistency? well… ya when you consider that Windows was pretty much the *only* OS on PC for general users, yes then you can call that consistency.

True, but the core to success for an application platform is API and behavior consistency across devices. That’s what’s made Windows such a colossal success on the desktop.

So called “smartphone/open” OS’s are still used in few phones, so if Symbian is to be THE phone platform, Nokia needs to act police to keep the platform consistent.
