Nokia to ship final Symbian-powered phones this summerJune 13, 2013 - 12:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Nokia has announced that it will ship its final Symbian-powered phone this summer. The Nordic phone maker adopted the Windows Phone operating system two years ago, but still has Symbian inventory to sell off in various territories, Digital Spy reported citing the Financial Times. Symbian was the world's leading mobile operator before it was dethroned by Google's Android, leading to Nokia gradually phasing the platform out. The last device to use the software was 2012's Nokia 808 PureView, a smartphone with a whopping 41-megapixel camera. Although the photographer-centric handset sold poorly, Nokia insists that there are positives to draw from the venture, as it paved the way for its current flagship devices. "This phone extended the platform's pioneering tradition, and acted as a bridge for the next wave of innovation now seen in our latest models, like the Lumia 925," a Nokia spokesperson told ZDNet. Nokia debuted Symbian in 2001, with the Nokia 9210 Communicator serving as its launch vehicle. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
