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.

... but I don't think it will make much difference...
Apple and Google have seen what the future holds, it is on a full OS, not a mobile platform...
We got to stop calling them smart phones and start calling them mobile computers (or something)... The phone is a just one small part of what it can do. Check out the iPhone and Android with the number of apps that will be coming to them, and what those apps are.
The next step will be plugging the phone into a keyboard and monitor when not on the move. It wont sync with your desktop, it will be your desktop. I almost guarantee Apple has already got prototypes doing this.
