"Just what the world needs: cell phones that require training classes, expensive tech support, and crash every day"

I presume you are refering to Microsoft.
Then again cell phones are not made to work as open platforms where the user has any choice to leave the menu system.
Linux could make a difference in that respect, but its still not very interesting for the "normal" userö

However, the whole story is a bit of rubbish as the logical way to go for Symbian is Linux. And I bet they have already put some effort on that.
There is no way Symbian could produce anything with the power of Linux when moving towards the realy advanced smart phones.
And the big boom is not with smart phonres in the firt place.
Also I think Symbian should evaluate companies like Monavista, Wiind River and TrollTech for co-opperation.
Microsoft will never succed due to its sic organisation.
