Kudos for him (I mean it, in the future people will question Google products unconsciously).

Currently all S60v5 devices from Nokia (all of them, even despite of the price differences) share the same CPU and the same amount of RAM, which makes the platform a bit easier to program for, but on the other side, it gives less choise for the consumer.

Symbian Foundation and Horizon are certainly steps in the right direction for success in America, which is something Nokia might desperately need right now. The carrier situation does suck in America, though.
