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.

I read the release, it's you that you didn't read what I wrote. I said that initial reports said that Nokia only bought Siemens' stake, but then the Nokia PR clears this up by saying that they pretty much got everything. I simply quoted the original article that was released before the PR itself, and was what the buzz was *originally* out there before the PR came out to clear everything up.
