Symbian not being continued is a concern, but not right now. Right now it is still the best if functionality is what you seek. Neither Android or ios come close. My E6 will be just as good a couple of years from now, better in fact due to updates.
I was taking a close look at the E6 as well. The hardware looks very well thought out. I work as a sysadmin so having a standard set of tools (SSH, VNC, RDP, OpenVPN & IPSEC clients) is a requirement though. I have no experience with Symbian and was worried about the likelihood of these apps becoming available given the E6's non-standard resolution. Could you post your thoughts about this?

What limitations do you speak of? I like the E6 but it's hard to argue against the brawn of the recent Android phones (such as the upcoming 4G slide on T-Mobile). Not having used either OS I'm a little lost on the practical implications of "more apps" vs. "better multitasking" arguments.
