    AnonD-1097, 24 Jan 2013Its sad to see the best OS put to sleep. ....I have been a ... moreHahahaha! The best OS between 2002 - 2007 yeah because competition was weak. It died because Nokia didn't update it until too late as an out dated OS cannot compete with modern times.

    Hope the lesson has been learnt nokia!

            I don't know why so many are shocked and upset by this? This is what happens when a company does not bother to update and out of date unstable OS to modern standards in the for over 10 years. It was good back in 2002 - 2007 as the competition was not very good as well; but when they basically left it when iOS and Droid hit the scene it was plain idiotic of nokia.

            Hope the lesson has been learnt Nokia!

                          GSMA, please, stop spreading disinformation.
                          Symbian works fine on my phone today. And I bet I will work like a charm longer than any cheap samsungs toys.

                                It's a sad day for Symbian Lovers. IOS and Android can be the king of the chain but neither of the two is a simple to use as Symbian was. RIP...

                                      I have nokia 5233, nokia 701 and sony neo v.
                                      Symbian is very easy to use. Great thing about it was its battery life, i watch 2 to 3 hd movies in single charge on nokia 701.
                                      watching one movie on sony neo v drains whole fully charged battery.

                                      I cant believe its dead now, lack of developers, no bigger inch phones, screen resolution always 360*640.
                                      no good video players for it, which can play all video format.
                                      mx player on sony neo v play almost any video files.

                                      R.I.P symbian.

                                      I hope lumia will replace symbian for what it was in our heart.

                                        Thank you very much Symbian for being part of the smartphone world. I'm really happy to have experienced Symbian and I think that it is the most simple and easy to use OS ever. From Nokia 7650 to my last Nokia N8.. It was a great run.. R.I.P...
