"It was an unprecedented and largely unexpected move by Nokia, which had for months allowed speculation that it may join the Open Handset Alliance and back Android. Now it's taking steps to own Symbian, and to put away its competition"

Nokia after acquiring Symbian announced that it will establish a Symbian Foundation, open source the OS and welcome carrier as members. Right now, the members are AT&T, Broadcom, Digia, EA Mobile, Ericsson, Freescale Semiconductor, Fujitsu, LG, Motorola, NTT DoCoMo, Orange, Plusmo, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, STMicroelectronics, Teleca, Texas Instruments, T-Mobile.
