i don't think symbian is a dead end....maybe for SE users, but not for the others. maybe there will be no other firware release (anyway my vivaz is working perfect in terms of UI speed and quite stable unlike my old n95) but applications will be developed for a period of time, the Nokia symbian community is quite large. I don't think develoers will leave all those people behind. from my point of view, symbian is ok regarding user experience, is quite customizable (at least the menus) and is not the end of the world to have a symbian on your phone, even if is an old OS, buggy sometimes, and way behind android and IphoneOS. for me, the good features this phone has are much more important than what OS is running. currently, the only bug I have with my vivaz is stuttering (sometimes, not allways) in video recording. but I understand that this bug comes from the memory card. i have the original 8gb microSD. i will try, when the budget allows, to buy a much faster microSD and maybe a 16 gb one.
now, if you try searching a bit, you will find that all the hd and 8/5 mpx phones from samsung, nokia, Iphone are much more expensive than the vivaz... samsung galaxy S is around 500 euros, the Iphone is abot 950 euros and the vivaz is around 350 euros. samsung wave is a little cheaper, but still around 50 euros more than the vivaz. so...in the end you will get what you paid for.
for me, with a maximum 400 euro budget, vivaz is the perfect phone. nothing else in the market, for that price, can come close to vivaz features.

if we are talking about satio then we must talk about nokia n8. there we have a better symbian, better hardware and better overall phone than the satio at the same price. i am a SE fan for years but at this moment sony flagship phones are weaker than the competition. even the x10 cannot stand in front of the galaxy s and other droids. as for the vivaz is a cheap phone with great hardware and features. it is worth purchasing it because is cheaper and rather small. otherwise, the samsung wave is much better. for me the vivaz, at today's price is the perfect phone, i am happy to have it and maybe, in 1-2 years i will switch to the next droid xperia. hope it will be better supported than the x10.
