For example the Nokia 5530 (a fairly new Symbian touchscreen phone) is now about 160 euros unlocked, compared to 500-600 euros unlocked for most non-Symbian touch devices. They're in a totally different league, they cannot possibly be aimed at the same set of customers.
When the Nokia 5230 get’s out it will be even cheaper… and they are not low end, they all have multitasking OS, a thing that iphone misses.
