Interesting, however I've done my research and the kind of apps that I would be running are available on the Symbian platform. And for heavy lifting I've got my Zaurus.

Not sure why you're bringing this up. I have said on the outset that Nokia does have the majority share of Symbian, and because of this I have already surmised (and stated so) that when you say Symbian you are implying Nokia. However just because Nokia "owns" Symbian, again: Symbian does not make phones. Saying Symbian makes phones is like saying Saab (owned by GM) makes Cadillacs.

This is a quote from this article at technewsworld.com: "The Symbian operating system lacks the programming tools and development environment needed so third parties can write applications."

That statement is absurd BS, so where do the Symbian 3rd party apps come from? Someone's back orifice? Insufficiently good tools (use whatever standard you want) does not imply no tools.

Haven't actually got one yet, but will most likely be getting a Nokia N93 soon.
