Symbian recently announced that its OS has powered 100 million phones. That's not bad - it's a lot of licences - but then, mobile phones shift around a billion units a year now. But a phone with Symbian isn't any old phone. It's a smartphone.

The Communicators were not a patch for the Psions in terms of ease of use, flexibility or power. No touchscreen, /lousy/ keyboard, tiny, cramped design constrained by the phone form factor and a smaller, lower-resolution screen. I've not yet seen an E90 - it's not out yet - but of these, the only one that I know it fixes is the screen res.
I've only had a 2min play with an E60. It's a nice little device, but its keypad and joystick-based navigation method is, for my money, considerably inferior to that of the old 6310. I also find S60 more awkward to navigate than old dumb Nokia phones. But yes, it is indeed close!
