End Of The Road For Symbian In 2012
2013 will be Windows Phone only according to the current plan
When Nokia decided to partner with Microsoft and use Windows Phone as the platform for its cell phones, many questioned what would happen to Nokia's existing products, Symbian, Meego and Qt. Nokia has confirmed that Symbian will last be used in smartphones in 2012.
End Of The Road For Symbian
A developer has posted a letter that Nokia Vice President Prunima Kochikar sent out. Nokia plans to release new phones between now and the Windows Phone 7 rollout. "We will have a strong portfolio of new products during our transition period - i.e. 2011 and 2012." Once 2012 is here though, Symbian based devices will be phased out.
Nokia is still improving on Symbian
Still, a number of changes are promised for this year:
"The first major update will arrive in summer, delivering a new home screen, new flexible widgets, new icons, a faster browser, new Navbar and a fresh look and feel to Ovi Store and Ovi Maps, including integration of social media services in Ovi Maps."
