ARM11 chips are the least expensive, followed by snapdragon and OMAP3. Dual Core chips are a lot more expensive, and are mostly advantages for multitasking, so that may be more of a tablet/pad kind of chip.
I am starting to think that one of Symbian's problems is that they haven't adequately ported it yet to ARMv7 instruction set (i.e. Cortex A8), and that is the reason Symbian is still using ARM11 chips.
