^^ Java apps are quiet few in numbers. The few that exists are mostly web browsers and e-mail clients and stuff like that. Symbian apps come in great variety, similar to software available for say, a Windows pc. From media players, image editors, file managers, web browsers, pdf readers to even stuff that converts your cell phone into a remote control for your tv. A quick search around the net will tell you the huge variety you can find in Symbian apps. Then there are things like Symbian themes, games...... the list goes on. Symbian phones are true smartphones that put near pc like functionality in your palms. No other smartphone, even ones based on Windows Mobile come close. Java looks anaemic in comparison.
