How much does it take to convince Symbian users their OS is doomed? Just the only slide you spot above. Now it kind of feels Nokia CEO Stephen Elop is making an attempt damage control. In an interview with Nokia Conversations, Elop attempted to placate his shareholders and customers by stating that the OS’s last update will happen somewhere around 2016 on the earliest. He’s not switching the focal point far from Windows Phone as his company’s bright new future, but he does are looking to assuage folks that sunk money into Symbian that their investment is not only taking place the drain. Stating there’s “a protracted history still to be paved for Symbian sooner or later,” Elop didn’t volunteer any additional details on update strategy or how for much longer new Symbian phones might be sold. We’re a little surprised on the length of this extension of relevancy; we cannot help but feel as if it is all because Nokia’s breakup with Symbian was too emotional and they are both looking to stay friends. Or even four years is simply how long the corporate thinks this may take to sell all the remaining 150 million units it originally planned to push. Either way, look at the total video after the break and tell us what you believe you studied below.
