>How much Symbian development have you done? Many small companies were doing J2ME on Symbian as a way to write portable code across multiple devices.
None, but this doesn't change the fact that C++/Qt was the main development platform. I'd also wager that the C++/Qt apps were vastly superior to the J2ME apps.

Well, at least they're still making S30+ phones. The S30 stopped production in 2013.
So vastly superior that no mobile OS has been successfully with C++/QT on the market.
Symbian C++ alongside J2ME were vastly more used than C++/Qt ever was.
The adoption of C++/Qt was still being ramped up when the switch to Windows Phone 7 took place. Qt Mobility APIs were still work in progress just as an example.
Actually this angered many Symbian developers as they were still evaluating the transition to C++/Qt SDK when the news came out.
How much Symbian development have you done?
I used to work for that little finish company.
Many small companies were doing J2ME on Symbian as a way to write portable code across multiple devices.
As for the Series 30+, the MRE was a market failure, never reaching a fraction of J2ME, Mediatek doesn't even support the SDK anymore.
