Consumers Will Benefit From Smartphone Battle

The problem is that out of your 200 million Symbian phones, only a small portion can actually run applications due to a lack of memory and processing power. Add in the multiple different controller interfaces (keypad and buttons), different screen resolutions and different versions of Symbian, and it's a fragmented market at best. Newer devices will surely benefit from the newfound freedom, but unless they have a more common configuration, it's still a crapshoot.
