If Symbian dies, you will all end up with a choice between WinMobile and Android.
And OSX, and a twisted maze of little Linux-based phone platforms, all different (ALP, WebOS, MotoMAGX, LiMo, Openmoko and maybe maemo and moblin in the near future). Sounds exactly like the Unix wars of twenty years ago :-(

But IMHO the smartphone concept is a failure for a variety of reasons (form factor, operator meddling, extremely short lifecycles etc) which is why the Internet Tablet was such an exciting proposition.
