In a very optimistic post since revealing their Q2 results, Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo and CFO Timo Ihamuotila, said to industry analysts today, that they intend to ship more than 50 million Symbian^3 devices in the “coming years” and went on to re-iterate Nokia’s dedication to Symbian as the OS in their smartphones.
“The feedback from operators on the N8 and Symbian^3 has been very good,” he said. “The Nokia N8 will have a user experience superior to that of any smartphone Nokia has produced. I’m optimistic that the N8 will be the first step towards overcoming the challenges we face at the high end of our portfolio.”
They also go on to say that their new approach with the N8 and beyond, is more software-centric (about freakkin time) and that Symbian^3 will be much more uniform across different phones than previous Symbian releases.
“Symbian is about leveraging scale and expanding the smartphone category to cover a broad mass market footprint. In contrast, MeeGo is about leveraging speed and agility to create industry leading flagship solutions. Symbian and MeeGo have different sweet spots. We intend to capitalize on the unique strengths of each platform.”
