I would love to know more of the details of Symbian's relationship with Nokia and whether Ben Smith's comments were simply misstaken or if there is a larger underlying problem. It seems pretty peculiar to announce the end of a corporate relationship just by accident.

I like this Nokia brand very much because it's good then other mobile company sets i think.Even i use the express music set 5230.It's symbian and i am working well with it.I dont think that Nokia should drop the symbian.

I see your point, and I hope you see mine. I came from Symbian in a time it was as nowhere as complex as it is today. And then it was enough for me to migrate to Maemo. Also, from the user standpoint, I like maemo simplicity.

The problem to developers is that its become increasely dificult do mantain bug-free apps for Symbian, due to stil complexity and mutant nature. Linux, on the other hand, has its base on UNIX, a 40 – years old OS that remained quite stable in the last, say, 20 years. Its much easier to get better apps, becouse you dont have to spend extra time get along with a weird OS.

But Symbian could win Samsung and Sony as well.

It looks like Maemo for geeks and Symbian for mass people.

Who cares? It's just a name … If an OS is usable, bug free and you will have usable apps for it, you can name it however you want. isn't it?

It's all just company politics. It's a public secret that Nokia favours Maemo. Symbian is going to be the “mid-range” and Maemo “top/high-range platform. Nokia is not denying that. There will probably be contract's with symbian developers till 2012. From that date on Maemo will run on every Nseries smartphone. By the way, what do we all care? The world ends in 2012!?

>Maemo is our software of choice for devices based on technology that you’d typically find inside a desktop computer.

Nokia: N series – it's what the computer has become

Kudos to you, Mark, for doing the leg work in an attempt to confirm such a bold account of Nokia's plans with Nseries and Maemo.

Whatever happened to confirming a story before going to 'print'? :-/

I think everyone relates Symbian with the very powerful, but even more stale S60 OS- and are oh so eager to hear news of its demise.

Let's all take a deep breath, huh?

They won't admit it because they have invested and have many investors who are relying on Symbian to keep their stock afloat. Samsung and Sony Ericsson as two such manufacturers who might ditch Symbian if this sort of news is confirmed.

Moving to Maemo for all N-Series devices would be a pretty decent move IMO, the buzz right now and the announcement of a few other handsets running Maemo, would be highly profitable. But obviously they N900 must be used as a guinea pig before making such drastic moves and announcements.

They aren't denying it's the case, it's more like they are saying it's too early for them to officially comment. From what Ben and I were told Symbian would still be used on other ranges, so would indeed be their platform of choice. That statement is just a bit of spin, it doesn't really confirm or deny anthing.

I wouldn't trust those @Reallymobile guys, they always seem to get rumours wrong! Remember the Pre winning gadget of the year? That @bensmithuk too, he's just a rumour whore!

It doesn't seem like their denying it, just say that it's too early to admit. If all goes well with Maemo and if it picks up a lot of users within a short time period, it wouldn't be wrong to switch or at least have a larger variety of powerful Maemo devices.
