None of Nokia's feature phones run Symbian, they run Series 40, a Nokia developed software platform and UI. Series 40 is not capable of the functionality that true smart phone OS's like Symbian, Maemo or Windows Phone 7. I'm also not sure it's true that Nokia were way ahead of the market, as their competitors (such as Ericsson) were producing smart phones every bit as impressive as Nokia's early efforts. They did make a good start, but they were not unchallenged.
