No one else is close however, so "the largest share of smartphones" would have been better than "most smartphones". It's still a big deal. It looks like a reasonable defensive move against the growing influence of Android. How refreshing to see choice in the marketplace compared to desktops and other PCs. Picky… but correct.

I don't think that equates to 'most smartphones'. For example: http://www.wirelessandmobilenews.com/2009/10/symbian-blackberry-iphone-and-android-poised-to-lead-smartphone-market-says-abi-research.html http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/android-closing-in-on-blackberry-taking-share-from-iphone/ http://phandroid.com/2009/11/15/android-stealing-symbian-winmo-market-share/ It seems to me thatSymbian marketshare is less than 50% and dropping.

Coders are naturally curious. They will take a peek at how someone does something and find fault with it, improve it or add something. Opening the code will unleash a lot of energy at very little expense to Nokia/Symbian. Sharing works. I predicted this would be the year of ARM and I did not realize this has been in the pipe for a couple of years. I am not into phones... You mean busy bodies, right? Coders are naturally curious.

Chrome, been there done that; Android, yep that too; Symbian, finally saw what was happening with ChromeOS and decided to join the party. It's amazing what happens when you unleash something to the busybodies of F/OSS community. Sigh, where to begin?
