Probably not. But those in the know, knows that Symbian is pretty efficient on CPU, memory and power usage. The clueless or those who thinks they know would just be looking at the raw CPU speed. One thing that Nokia is consistently guilty of though is putting too little RAM into their devices.

Nokia phones have always had a slower CPU than the competition so nothing new there.

Apple doesn't.

That's in part due to the superior illegal tactics Intel employed in coercing manufacturers not to use AMD stuff, and for which they are now being sued by AMD for.
I am not sure if you realized it but you answered your own question!

If the specs don't have big numbers (probably because its not needed for that OS), then advertise/market what it does and how it does better than others.

Apple does marketing better (infact, excellent).
Nokia doesn't. So, it has to level their laziness at specs level.

Now, what percent of the people do you think know the capabilities of an OS. I mean (in this case), how many people know that Symbian runs better at even older hardware?
