Puh-lease.

The OMAP3430 is easily 2-3x faster than that ARM11 for most tasks, and orders of magnitude more for the more specific tasks that benefit from things like DSP acceleration, 3D acceleration, and SIMD (NEON). Symbian's RAM usage sure isn't anything to write home about as my 5800 has to regularly close applications due to memory constraints whereas my N800 never does.

You're severally deluded if you think Linux somehow negates that kind of performance bump compared to Symbian.
