Also, when I say step backwards, I mean that unfortunately commercial US companies have decided to tunnel vision Android and iOS right now, and I am starting to want to use what they offer in the way of apps(more specifically apps that provide them with DRM).

It doesn't matter how nice the browser is, or how functional newer versions of Symbian will be, if it doesn't get DRM related apps. I understand why companies that I pay for services, want to control their content, it doesn't bother me so much, but by choosing to spend money on Symbian, I would be choosing to not have a phone that supports those services.
