WinCE a more powerful OS? Hardly. Wasn't WinCE the OS that until recently had a 32 process limit (including the kernel) because it used the ARM MPU domains for process memory protection.
You'll probably find WinCE in lower resource embedded devices in the automotive/embedded sector.
Symbian stole a march on M$ because M$ tried to bring the same business model and user experience that had worked for it in the PC desktop market. Handset manufacturers didn't want their hardware to be commoditised and this 800lb gorilla own the platform.
M$ has recently changed it's tack, it does allow much more vendor customisation but still relies primarily on an ODM manufacturer to commision it's phone devices.
