Far from your fantasy of the 'real competition' destroying Symbian sales the reality is the sales of NOKIA's Symbian devices nearly doubled and that's despite the fact the N8, the first half-decent hardware NOKIA had given Symbian in a very long time, wasn't released until the very end of that time frame.

Symbian has had touch support since the days it was called EPOC and appeared on Psion Series 7 devices

I think you should take your own advice, I'm sure you must be good at something but it's certainly not astroturfing.
