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.

You are wrong in at least one point: Symbian and Qtopia aren't competing - Qtopia is layer on system below so Symbian as OS + Qtopia as GUI can play nicely along.
Also they bought Trolltech for whole package. Supposedly Qt will be core for all their applications on mobiles, desktops etc.
