Nokia invests €500 in R&D To Boost Symbian OS

We must confess to the reality in the market that Nokia Symbian OS is not the most hip and fancy operating system nowadays. Android and Apple iPhone have more compelling features and interface. Not to mention the exotic Garmin Asus Nuvifone, which seamlessly integrates native Garmin USB menu with cellphone and messaging functionality. Yet Nokia starts fighting back. It plans to invest €500, which particularly directed to improve the Symbian OS to be "more competitive".

But money alone cannot make the Symbian turn around easy. Facing tough challenges from Android, Iphone, and Palm Pre, Nokia will have to amass support from developers to work together to create operating system that works inline with natural habit of common people.

That's why HTC launches HTC Touch Flo skin, and also that's the reason behind the innovation by Samsung on TouchWiz interface. Symbian does not have that kind of flexibility. It must have, and have some more, and it must revolutionize the way Nokia lovers use the phone.
