Nokia and Sony Ericsson also stepped away from making CDMA phones, locking Symbian out of Sprint, Verizon, Alltel and other carriers. carriers like a bit more coddling than that. carriers, insisting that they pick up global models. After some success with early Symbian phones on AT&T, Nokia refused to offer customized versions of future devices to U.S. as it was globally, because its main champion, Nokia, grew arrogant. Symbian never became as popular in the U.S. The E71 outpaced BlackBerry with its gorgeous metal body and eminently usable, domed keyboard. The N95 had a 5-megapixel camera with a great camcorder mode while Apple was puttering along with a 2-megapixel camera with no options. In my mind, these were the two finest Symbian products, and the best Nokia products, in all of history: the ultimate multimedia phone and the perfect messaging phone. I was a Symbian user myself for a few years, thanks to the amazing Nokia N95 and E71. The platform had app stores, too: Handango's InHand, for instance, was available for Sony Ericsson Symbian phones starting in 2003. Back in 2004, I wrote approvingly of the 'hundreds' of third-party apps available for Symbian. At the OS's height of popularity between 20, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, and LG all churned out Symbian phones with a range of UIs for hungry, early smartphone users.ДЄpps? Yeah, we had apps. By then, Symbian had become the dominant global smartphone OS, outpacing Palm OS and Windows CE. I did my first smartphone roundup at PCMag in 2004: 14 phones, six of which ran Symbian. In our 1998 roundup of handheld computers, we gave the EPOC32 (aka Symbian)-powered Psion Series 5 an Editors' Choice award, saying that no other device we tested at the time 'surpasses the Series 5's balance of features, price and battery life.' Psion's later 32-bit OS, called EPOC32, was renamed Symbian in 1998. It's descended from Psion's EPOC16, introduced on Psion's Series 3 PDAs in 1991. Symbian's roots are even older than that. ( In our review of the R380, we said that 'the Symbian EPOC OS has an elegantly designed interface with a fast response to input.')

Apple's iOS is a fine OS, but it's a second-generation smartphone OS, coming a full seven years after the first Symbian phone, Ericsson's R380, arrived in 2000. When pundits claim that the iPhone was the 'first smartphone' - or anything like that - I rage silently, because it's so far from the truth. But this is the period at the end of the sentence: the final chapter for the first cellular smartphone OS. We've seen this coming for a while, as Nokia said it would start moving away from Symbian in 2011. In Nokia's fourth-quarter financial results, the company announced that the Pureview 808 would be Nokia's last Symbian phone.
