The two made the best user interface frameworks that outputted the best results, which allowed development for MeeGo and the Symbian platform. It was later to be called Symbian versions 1, 2, and 3. One of the popular phones that used this platform includes the Nokia They supported touch with a stylus and button features but were discontinued after Nokia took over the stewardship.
Both SonyEricsson and Motorola skinned this Symbian OS with intuitive icons that augured well with the portrait orientations in smartphones apart from the softkey input systems. Through the success of the Symbian devices, all there was by Nokia and its partners was to roll out smartphones of different shapes and screen sizes.
From flip phones to a consistent stream of candybars, the growth was unstoppable, then the iPhones arrived in and Android in The two offered the best platforms and introduced some of the best touchscreen mobile devices ever created. Nokia, the company running Symbian in its later years, desperately wanting to match the unstoppable competition and needing to evolve the OS decided to open source the platform in The move was to accelerate its growth and try to salvage the operating system that was falling behind.
Some good came out of trying to catch up with the competition; a Symbian OS made for the touchscreens was created. The building of this Symbian platform consisted of bringing together the Series 60 technology, the MOAP, and the UIQ, which were all pooled to be a unified touch system for new smartphones. It was released in late By then, it was already becoming too late for the OS. The sales had already fallen. This 3rd version of Symbian incorporated as many features as it could. With fast graphics, widget support, and multiple screens, it packed several other features that its rivals had, yet, it was again a little too late.

The Anna version was characterized by an improvement in text inputs, browsing speed as well as a novelty in its user interface that carried rounded icons. The Belle version brought additional features including the customization of widgets.
Also, it added more home screens and a status screen that was pulled down, much like the Androids. Through the pull-down menu, one could access settings, get access to notifications including text messages and missed calls among others. But because Android already had these features, Nokia perhaps got tired of always being the second best. Eventually, it stopped making new UIs for Symbian. The success of the Symbian platform was first realized in the first quarter of , where it sold 2.
The progress was realized much in Japan. By the third quarter of , a total of 3. This registered a percent growth compared to the year The market share consequently grew from Unfortunately, this was not the case in the United States. It had less popularity and the market share was a mere 6 percent in the third quarter of This was far behind Palm OS and Windows Mobile which enjoyed 43 and 25 percent market share respectively. However, by , the Symbian platform was enjoying a significant growth that drove it to reach a global smartphone market share of 73 percent.
It would take a downward plunge to The introduction of other platforms, iPhone and Android saw the market shares of the Symbian OS drop.
