There is a Symbian port to x86 processor as well.

Not only Windows and Ubuntu run x86, but I have doubts Nokia will use a x86 processor instead of an energy wise ARM OMAP processor. Having FPU and graphic accelereation this ARM processors can go far in terms of performance (speed and energy consuption).
