Developing Symbian code is a challenge, Symbian developers are hard to find on great demand (if you want a pay rise you may consider dive into it :-) ) It was the best until a few years ago, but now the competition had caught up with it. RIM(Blackberry) were always good, the last Windows mobile is stable, iPhone is getting there, and mobile linux (where Android is on of its flavours) is looking to gain some market as well. I'm not saying the Symbian is going to die in the near future, but it lost a lot of ground, and they got a lot of catching up to do.
