Symbian Signed is also a yearly fee

The "first app, second year" cost for Symbian should also include the cost of renewing your Publisher ID, because that is an annual fee.

One significant advantage of the iPhone (and to a lesser extent, Android) is the number of distinct devices a developer has to buy/test with. Apple is very nice because it only has one form factor. With Android, you can get the dev phone and comfortably develop for all Android devices. For some other platforms, there's so much variance that it is impractical to develop apps without buying a handful of different devices.
