Nokia Symbian is going off


Elop did not explicitly state that Symbian is going off. It's just that he was impressed more easily release the operating system.

In this transitional period, smartphone Nokia "split" between Symbian and MeeGo. Presumably, soon Windows Phone will be the only platform of choice.

On the other hand, Nokia still has a mobile platform and lower middle class such as S40 and S30. S40 platform is often referred to as the most widely used platform in the world.

Nokia had (and still is) so synonymous with the Symbian operating system. But there are indications of Symbian will be "killed" more quickly than previously expected.

Indications that emerged in interviews Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia, with TechRadar. Elop claimed to have accepted the fact that Symbian has the largest market share declined throughout its history, particularly in the United States and British markets.

Nokia parties are also quite aware that Symbian is currently experiencing difficult times due to challenges from other OS like Android, and other IOS.

"We chose an alternative platform for a significant decline in the Symbian market," he explained.

Currently Nokia plans to completely switch from Symbian to Windows Phone for its smartphones. IDC also predicts Symbian will be lost in 2015.
