"During its Capital Markets Day 2009, Nokia has announced that one of its major focuses in 2010 will be on revamping the user interface of the Symbian mobile platform. While it currently is the most widespread smartphone platform (due to the fact that Nokia sells the most phones), Symbian has fallen behind its rivals from Apple and Palm, and requires a refresh in order to put up a good fight.

"In 2010, we will drive user experience improvements, and the progress we make will take the Symbian user interface to a new level," said Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. "As an operating system, Symbian has reach and flexibility like no other platform, and we have measures in place to push smartphones down to new price points globally, while growing margins. I see great opportunity for Nokia to capture new growth in our industry, by creating what we expect to be the world's biggest platform for services on the mobile."

In addition to rekindling the Symbian flame, Nokia's 2010 plans include the release of a Maemo 6 device, just one apparently, as the Finnish company is still betting the most on Symbian."
