My recollection of the mid-2000s is that Nokia simply had no idea how to be a platform provider. They had 2 or 3 main operating systems, but within each of those there were numerous different versions. Most handsets didn't get updated, so you had to download a zillion different SDKs just to do basic testing.

And the bugs... one whopper in particular that I remember was redirect after POST didn't work.

I don't remember the details of Symbian any more, other than it was some ancient fork of C++ and clunky cooperative multitasking.
