None of the people I know who had a Symbian phone put it in the smartphone category.
Why does everyone think the iPhone was the very first smartphone? Because only the user interface matters and makes the phone look "smart" or not.
If Symbian had been good enough to create an actual "smartphone" product (in the usual, "user-interface" meaning of the term), then Nokia would not have spent years trying to a create a (couple of) brand new alternative(s). And they would probably not be where they are today.

And that Nokia used it for years to refer to their Symbian phones? What's a smartphone? A rough definition might be one that can download and run apps, and has internet connectivity. Hmmm... just like the Symbian based Nokia phones I used to have. Funny that...

I'm happy you and Nokia agree with each other.
