On a second thought, they probably would use 5 years, and it would still be buggy when it launched.

The second point was that they had 5 years to develop Symbian for that HW.

Hence, Ahonen's rant is nothing but pointless rant. He has serious problems.
You didn't understood me. I mean't those 5 years were been for developing hardware and not to make it compatible to work on platform (this is in my opinion only 10-15% of time of all development of 808).
So in my opnion they spend just few months to get it on Symbian (and symbian is known to have bestg cameras, so for the same result it would take longer to have it on Android or any other platform).
