Symbian^4 is the first to have the whizzbang HW accelerated animated UI and a new application suite. Symbian^3 provides a lot of important under the hood stuff, but UI wise I think it's just patchwork for the same old S60 UI. And if there isn't much new the users can _see_ I don't think specs alone will be able to get enough attention. Symbian^3 might introduce some UI concepts/flow that'll be in Symbian^4 though. That's what I think Maemo 5 is also doing with regard to MeeGo(Harmattan).

Smartphones did well, but the average selling price wasn't all that great, 155 e. I'd be worried if this pushing smartphones to lower price points strategy didn't increase volumes. It also just occurred to me that in the earnings call they didn't announce Nseries and Eseries volumes separately from the lower end smartphones like they have before. Not sure if this means anything though.
