Seriously the ease of developement on Android makes this all a waste of time (and take that from someone who is mostly an iPhone developer).

Nokia should just drop symbian altogether now and start making android phones and adapt the OS to its needs. Android is open, so outside of pride issues there is no reasonable reason to go on digging this grave.

The question that Nokia should ask is: if I am computer student which mobile platform will I want to learn. The answer will either be iPhone (if you're a mac guy) or Android.
