Is the Smart Phone Industry Going to Leave the Symbian Behind?

July 19, 2010

It is a well established fact that Finnish manufacturer Nokia has very close ties with the Symbian Foundation. Technically, it can even be said that they started it. But the time for close ties seems to be coming to an end with the announcement that no new Symbian smart phones will be part of the Nokia N-series (which is basically their flagship series of handsets) as the Espoo based phone maker shifts its focus on the Moblin OS (which they co-developed with Intel).

According to recent reports, the Symbian OS is not looking good. Many doubt that even the upcoming Nokia N8 and Symbian^3 operating system would be able to help the ailing OS. Despite having once been the most widely used operating system for mobile phone users, many are passing up on the Symbian.

It has to be noted that the Symbian’s initial popularity was one of technicality: the Nokia devices they were installed on where what was selling. In an era where a mobile handset’s operating system was not a key factor, the Symbian OS dominated the field.

With the emergence and popularity of smart phone devices however, people are not aware of the value of a good operating system –and the choice of handsets is as influenced by its OS as much as the hardware specifications would.

Google’s Android OS is major competitor that has taken over the field. In just two years, the open source mobile platform has become the most widely used smart phone OS. And with less and less people using generic 2G devices, it seems that the OS with control of the smart phone market will be the one that dominates.

Nokia still has high hopes for the Symbian Foundation. Not only are they excited about the upcoming Nokia N8, but are pretty much open to the idea of a Symbian^4 handset appearing on the N-series.
