Fit for purpose? It was, but now it's pretty outdated to be used anywhere else but low-end phones. A complete UI rewrite might or might not be enough to make it credible again. We'll see.
I've owned various (Nokia) Symbian phones and I've been a (hobbyist) Symbian coder, and all I can say right now is "never again". S^3 and S^4 would have to be pretty damn amazing to change that.

Again with the whole world needs = my needs. How would a UI rewrite help on a candy bar phone?
Also as a Symbian coder, surely the idea of selling cheap apps to the huge amount of Symbian low end phone owners is a little mouth watering? Ofc you need to come up with an app people want to buy

I kind of made an assumption that a candy bar phone = low-end phone... Based on how the phones with smaller screens generally leave a lot to be desired in terms of web and multimedia experience, features that many (most?) high-end phone owners would consider essential today.
