At one point, Nokia spent more on R&D than any other company in the world. They were always the innovators. Unlike some companies who try to stifle innovation (microsoft) or rebadge innovations (apple)

Period.
The priority claim can be argued as well. According to Wikipedia, Symbian was conceived in 1998. It was previously known as EPOC since 1997. Palm OS was conceived in 1996. The first Symbian phone was released in Q2 2002, same as the first Palm OS phone.

(plus, it had a hardware keyboard...)

Because they used to make high functional smartphones. Not huge screens with colored squares.
