In June 2008, Nokia announced the acquisition of Symbian Ltd., and a new independent non-profit organization called the Symbian Foundation was established. Symbian OS and its associated user interfaces S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) were contributed by their owners Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Sony Ericsson and Symbian Ltd., to the foundation with the objective of creating the Symbian platform as a royalty-free, open source software, under the OSI- and FSF-approved Eclipse Public License (EPL). The platform has been designated as the successor to Symbian OS, following the official launch of the Symbian Foundation in April 2009. The Symbian platform was officially made available as open source code in February 2010.

COMPARSION OF SYMBIAN & ANDROID 1.Operating system: Both have got awesome
operating system but the thing is that you can upgrade an android phone ,but you can never upgrade a Symbian phone, all you have to do is go for a new phone. You can upgrade android 1.6 to 2.1 android version but its impossible to upgrade s60v3 to s6ov5.Android vs. Symbian -Android Wins !

2.Appearance:An android platform provides a better looking appearance the old Symbian OS platform, though in both the cases new themes can be installed. Android phones have got a modern look with a drop down. You will not be able to change the menu style ,the way your videos look and music library looks and how your notes and documents and messages, mms, and phone book looks the way your browser and file manager looks in a Symbian Phone. But all this is possible in a android phone where you can do little shuffle by removing your default file browser and downloading and installing new file browser. Android vs. Symbian -Android Wins !

3.Processor:The computing power of Android smart phones more than Symbian because the Android newer and more powerful processes with a frequency of 1 GHz (with Symbian to 680 MR). Android has greater screen resolution! This means that more than the display. So, for example, the Android-Smartphone is much more convenient to read and surf the Internet. Memory for some models up to one gigabyte, while Symbian applications are often closed due to lack of memory, Android is trying to use the newest, namely, the graphics processor, the performance of which is 3-4 times greater than that of Symbian. As a result, the Android-Smartphone you can put a very high quality game. Personally, I liked most of all Android phones for this reason. This is the interface; Widgets are all kinds of installation without any issue, multiple desktops. In general, Android can be tailored to the tastes of any user. Android vs. Symbian -Android Wins !

5.Apps: Android phones have more cooler and wider range of apps which you can get directly from google.com by clicking on the PLAY button while Nokia OVI store provides Symbian apps
