Nokia: Windows and Symbian, Yes!

Although it has been holding the Windows for use as a smartphone platform, Nokia claims will not leave Symbian.

Launched by the Straits Times on Saturday (03/26/2011), Nokia admits that they will continue the portfolio of the Symbian smartphone platform in the future, although they have been selling Windows-based smartphones.

Previously, the analysts believe that Nokia will abandon Symbian to focus on making Windows-based smartphones. This rumor started sticking after the Finnish company decided to hold the operating system from Microsoft.

"We will start selling the device Symbian return some time after Nokia devices based on Windows Phone slid to the market," said Purnima Kochikar, Head of Developer Relations at Nokia.

Nokia itself promised to introduce mobile phone-based platform in late 2012, considering they claim to need time for two years to develop such devices.

As is known, Symbian today is increasingly losing market share continues to decline during recent years. But do not be denied if Symbian can generate revenue that is strong enough.
