We’re a community, not a company, owned by members not any one entity. — Symbian

I think the move comes seeing the increase in the popularity of likes of Android OS from Google and the iPhone OS from Apple who had slowly started stealing the limelight from Symbian…

But I seriously think Symbian is way late to gain back its popularity here… Should have released its code long time ago..
