Symbian is not a choice for many people, it's an included feature of a phone they're already buying.

Thats what i think as well. Most people in Europe buy Nokia's but they are probably buying the Nokia brand name rather than the OS the device is running. The fact that its running Symbian probably doesnt matter as much to them as having the latest Nokia phone to show off.
Windows Mobile devices however I feel are perceived differently - as mobile versions of Windows and are purchased for their actual capabilities rather than a desire solely to have the newest phone.
