Linux has huge mobile usage (see: Android) and industry support, not to mention ongoing development that Symbian simply does not have.

There's another reason why Linux is more attractive to Nokia than Symbian: size. Working with Symbian means investing in and working with an entire operating system in order to be unique. But, if you work with Linux, you can have a ready-to-go, highly active operating system, which only needs a few special-sauce tweaks to be unique.
