There is one phone Fujitsu LOOX F-07C which dual boots Symbian and Windows 7(PC OS).The advantage of this phone was that you would be carrying a netbook like device in small form factored size and disadvantage was poor performance and battery life due to Intel processor.Although,the phone would switch to Symbian if it detects low battery.
