Recent news has covered the release of many new smart phones. We have the new Treo650, the new Sony P910, the new Audiovox PPC 6000, the new Blackberry 7100, and the new Nokia 6670. Recently, I've been speaking via email almost daily with my AT&T (now Cingular) rep. For some reason, the conversation always steers towards his wanting to push the latest from Nokia, Blackberry, etc.

the difference in market share between symbian and palm in europe might have something to do with availability (symbian is available from a lot more vendors while palm is not) and price. There are some mid-end phones with symbian, most palm OS phones are quite pricey.
Don't count on symbian monopolizing the market in europe or on palm doing so in america.
You'll see palm OS in lower priced phones with smaller form factors in the near future. That will help in europe and elsewhere. The European phone makers (yep the ones who own symbian and refuse to use anything else) are going to have their lunch eaten for them by upstarts from Korea and china (its already happening (samsung, LG)). Korean, chinese, and other upstart phones vendors will not pursue symbian only. They will use, palm, linux, windows to stand out against a symbian oriented field in europe.
Likewise i am sure symbian will gain some ground in the US.
