Nokia Delays Symbian^3 Release to Third Quarter

Humberto Saabedra

In its latest earnings report, Nokia has confirmed the delay of its Symbian^3 operating system launch from the second quarter to sometime during the third quarter, which followed a 40% increase in earnings per share but not enough to meet analyst expectations, which led to share prices dropping by 12%.

Symbian^3 is meant to be Nokia’s revival of the venerable operating system with support for multitouch and improved graphics performance while its open source is meant to attract developers.
