Not likely
After all, it is nice that Symbian finally went open source, but they have a LOT of fixes to make to the Symbian s'ware before it can compete with Android or iPhone. And I am not sure all those can be made easily in OSS, since it is hard to change the architecture of an old system, especially if you open source it and rely on the bazaar to do it. After all: major architecture fixes are always difficult, they require someone to spearhead the effort. But this is better done by the cathedral than by the bazaar.
