Yeah, who would've thought symbian would be unified into 'Symbian Foundation' with its previously diverse OSs?
Anyway, SE's main problem is delays which in turn inhibits their competitiveness. Then there're quality control issues.
Let's just see what happens this year. Sony just posted over 1 billion euro loss which translates into the first annual loss in 14 years since these losses have been going since last year Q1. In fact, Sony has posted losses in all departments.
Ericsson is the healthy partner in the relationship, no debts and healthy reserves.
Bad news after bad news.

To be fair, every manufacturer has problems when trying to make major changes. Even Nokia!
When SE finally gets their first Symbian Foundation OS device out, it should be relatively easy to create other devices and get them to market.
The first one is almost a proof-of-concept and the one that allows users to give feedback (i.e. we're the proper testers). In fact, the Idou will be one of the first Symbian Foundation OS devices - as the i8910 HD will be sticking with 5th Edition S60.
I've been told that Nokia is almost ready to show its next generation device, which will effectively replace the long overdue N97. It's much the same as the N97 but a lot thinner. Perhaps it will also use Symbian Foundation?
The delays to Idou may come because of the OS, not the hardware. I remember how long we waited for the first UIQ 3 devices because the user interface wasn't finished - and it was still s**t!
