Haha, all kidding aside, to be honest, until the first full reviews of the N900 come out, I think it's going to be a bit difficult to see.

The main difference that Symbian holds (against other smartphone OS', too) is that it's a phone first, mobile computer second. That's why it works so good for normobs who ease themselves into it.

Oh, I dunno... some of us have been using Symbian since before it had any means of wireless comms beyond IRDA. S60's interface is very much dictated by the phone form factor, as evidinced by the pain communicator users felt moving from the 9x00s to the E90, but even S60 can be used as a computer with phone capabilities. I'll grant, however, that the majority of S60 users don't know this.
