Where do you get the idea the CPU/RAM allocation etc is 2 years old? From other devices that’s where – e.g. Android phones, iPhones, WinMo, RIM etc. HAVE YOU NOTICED? None of those are running Symbian. As a software developer of 25 years, I can assure you that Symbian simply does not need more power – i.e. the end performance can easily match that of competing devices with their 1GHz snapdragons. You don’t seem to understand that Android really is a LOT worse technically than Symbian – it’s heavier by far, inefficient, and immature and has to run virtual machines on the hardware etc, and iPhone OS is a joke – they clearly can’t even get it to multitask!
Symbian doesn’t need more clock speed as it’s SO efficient, it’s an amazing example of engineering, and the battery life far exceeds phones running rival OSes. RAM is addressed with RAM-paging, i.e. more efficient use, in Symbian^1 and even more so in Symbian^3.
