History of Symbian

Symbian is an Operating System aimed at wireless devices to provide enhanced usability and features on mobile devices.

Symbian is also an independent company which started in 1998 partly owned by Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Psion. I was not until two years later the first symbian phone, the Ericsson R380 handset went on sale to the general public.

In 2001 the first GPRS Symbian Handset phone was released called the Nokia 7650 (pictured top right). The next year really sees a lift off in the Symbian lift off. In 2002 the first 3G Symbian Operating system was released only for it a year later to be implemented on the first handset to inherit this technology, the Nokia 6600 (pictured bottom right). After this point many new handsets became available making Symbian one of the leading wireless operating systems in the mobile industry.

Symbian is an independent company whose head quarters are in the United Kingdom and offices in Sweden, USA, Japan, India and other offices in the United Kingdom.
