Maybe not. But it's way more modern and flexible. *g*

There are versions of symbian out there which deserve the name operating 
system. But nobody uses them AFAIK.
And as good as nobody makes software for symbian.

I would haveloved if they went to the maemo platform. But qtopia is 
probably really the better choice for a phone.
