I should add, Symbian isn't dead yet (although the life signs are diminishing). It takes a lot of time and effort to switch to a new mobile platform so the incumbents (Nokia and DoCoMo in Japan) will still be producing Symbian products for a few years yet.
Android is a good platform but it will face difficulties in the near future that might see the honeymood period end.
Symbian's strength is in the lower levels, it's very power and memory efficient, so with a decent UI (produced by someone other than Nokia) it could still be a player. We'll see.
