Are you sure about that, I believe that a large percentage of
advanced-function mobile phones run Symbian as their main OS? (RIM and
Windows Mobile being obvious exceptions) After all Nokia (still the worlds

essentially own the Symbian OS instead of letting it continue to be a larger
consortium of manufacturers controlling it.
