N97 sold nicely.... it unfortunately sold nicely. That phone alone tarnished Nokia's and Symbians image in West. Even Vanjoki admitted that the phone was a failure, something you don't hear everyday when the phone sold +2 million under 2 months.

That's what I call an ecosystem. Buttonless, similar UIs, UX and services on all phones. However, functionality and OS differ on price. Ovi store and Qt applications are running on the whole lineup.
Sorry but button-less doesn't make better. Symbian has some very deep problems and honestly it's pretty much only targeted outside Europe and North America. The market i'm not in.

While 200 euros or less Symbian device is all and well. I'll take Android, iOS, WP7 device that's +300e any day over Symbian device. Especially iOS and WP7 usability is from a different planet.
