      The Symbian Foundation is a non-profit organisation that stewards the Symbian platform,an POWERFUL OS for mobile phones..Based on SymbianOS, which was previously owned and licensed by Symbian Ltd..Symbian Foundation does not directly develop the platform, but evangelises, co-ordinates and ensures compatibility. It also provides key services to its members and the community such as collecting, building and distributing Symbian source code..

      It also provides:
      -Software development kits and tools
      -Documentation and example code
      -Discussion forums and mailing lists
      -Application signing (Symbian Signed)
      -Application distribution (Symbian Horizon)
      -Idea gathering and feedback (Symbian Ideas)

      Symbian^3 platform was made available under the Eclipse Public License, an open source license, on Year 2010.Symbian Foundation reports this event to be the largest codebase transitioned to Open Source in history.Access to the full source code of an earlier release of the Symbian platform, Symbian^2, is still limited to member organisations, but membership is open to any organisation..

      Now NOKIA was buy Symbian..

      Unlike SymbianOS, which required an additional user interface system (either S60, UIQ or MOAP(s) ), the Symbian platform includes a user interface component.

      The Foundation was founded by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, NTT DoCoMo, Motorola, Texas Instruments, Vodafone, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics and AT&T..

      Here's where it gets interesting, though: rather than taking Symbian's intellectual private for Nokia's own benefit, the goods will be turned over to the Symbian Foundation, a nonprofit whose sole goal will be the advancement of the Symbian platform in its many flavors..

              nokia"s 1st amoled tuoch screen device hope its gonna be cool.worst thing in n8 that battery is not removable.i dont know why the worlds largest mobile giant is repeating mistakes that of apple.it should have known that for a touch screen device battery should be removable as its the best remedy when ur phone hangs up!people taking this phone hope ur luck is good enough that it bdoesnt hangs up.well nokias best phone is actually outdated by specs.only256mb ram.just 680mhz processor, the only good thing about this phone is a 12mp camera and hd recording just that.in other aspects n900 is far better! people taking this phone also take a look at n900.its the best pocket monster made by nokia ever till date!

                  a good touch screen phone from nokia is at last here.all befor models even n97,5800,x6 are just rubbish they no homescreens,no personalization,no nothing!at least this one with 3 homescrens will do.but as far as user interface is concerned nokia n900 is good.even lg"S s-class user inerface is too good.even symbian 3 is a kind of limited touch U.I,nokia n900 has a perfect feel.it has prooved maemo is not bad too either,infact its excellent!

                            Samsung made great progress this year with Galaxy S and Wave. I dont think Nokia can match Samsung this year. But would love if it can prove me wrong.

                                    Nokia still focus on the hardware, must focus on the operative system, that´s why is losing followers, I have an N97 and OS Symbian is a nightmare, I'll move to Android.
