Symbian only sold licenses for a bundled OS - not a single device. Nokia etc sold devices that run Symbian OS.
That figure of 6+ million includes vanilla mobile phones which are not really relevant to this conversation...the vast majority of so-called "smartphones" touted by Symbian supporters are plain-jane mobiles. Not PDAs. They don't even try to be and that's fine - many people just want a telephone. The N-Gage is supposedly a Symbian "smartphone"...nuff said.
I would be interested to know how many P900/P910s or Nokia 9500/9700s they sold - that would be a reasonable comparison against WM and POS devices. I'm bettting the number is substantially lower. Anyone got the numbers?
