People don't want to spend $600 on a new E7, to then have to wait 4 months for those browser updates, or whatever, to make it work the way they expected it to in the first place!
Show me a mobile OS that IS 'finished' at launch..!

Remember, Symbian will be Nokia's staple OS from featurephone to smartphone, so support should be there. They've also elected to drop the 'Symbian^3/Symbian^4' staged development path in favour of seamless upgrades, so any new Symbian deviceds should be good for a couple of years.

I've just received an update for my 'ancient' X6 and Nokia have recently updated lots of S60 devicds like E72, E55, etc, so if what is past is prologue, NEW Symbian should be a safe bet.

...but then we said that about N97...
