Symbian^3 is due this year, in fact we’ve heard that S^3 devices should arrive in Q3, but we hadn’t seen a live demo of it. One just hit the Internet – it runs on a laptop rather than a phone but still, the UI is manipulated in real time in front of a live audience.

Nokia C6 will be the third side-slider in the S60 5th edition family and according to the new naming convention, adopted by the Finnish company it shouldn’t be much pricier than the Nokia C5 (135 euro before taxes). The Nokia C6 only has 256 MB of internal memory (compare to 32 GB in Nokia N97 and 8GB in N97 mini) and seems to drop the steel frame in favor of an all-plastic body.

It is probably an understatement that Nokia and Qualcomm have buried the hatchet. Kissed and made up is more like it. In a recent interview Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs reveals Nokia have a Snapdragon-powered Symbian smartphone in the pipeline. Due by the end of the year.

Symbian is going to push out S40 out of all but the most basic phones – the newly leaked Nokia C5 is good evidence of that. With a modest price tag this handset would steer many buyers in Symbian direction.
The Nokia C5 is also the first phone of the Cseries we’ve seen yet – remember back in July last year when Nokia trademarked Xseries and Cseries? With the Nokia X3 and the Nokia X6 we saw the Xseries – the successors of the XpressMusic lineup – and now it’s clear that the Cseries takes over where the “classic” phones left off.

There have been quite a few rumors about the fate of Symbian, but now the OS has entered a new stage of its existence – its code is now open source. This move began in June 2008, when Nokia bought Symbian and created the Symbian Foundation to take over the development of the OS. And the Foundation has big plans for the future.
