The Symbian OS was a team effort between Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Panasonic, Samsung and Siemens. Reports said, that in the eve of the 10th year anniversary from the creation of Symbian, Nokia has bought the 8.4% Siemens stake for 70 million Euros ($108.6 million) and will now have over 56% of controlling interest in the group, but the press release says that Nokia takes it all. This could have created quite some uneasiness to the other players, but Nokia will play nice.

Nokia will play nice? One can hope, but they are still a business, are they not?
Besides, we watched Palm try new things, buy BeOS, sell BeOS, buy...oh wait...what happened next? Symbian + Qt + Nokia = ?
I hope it all works out or there could be some extremely exciting changes.
