First Symbian Foundation handsets arriving in 2010
Oh c'mon, you didn't think all these global players could just toss their eggs into one basket and pop out a new handset next week, did you? All sarcasm aside, those stoked about the possibilities of the newly formed Symbian Foundation will be waiting a good while before an actual handset is loosed on the world, or so Kai Öistämö says. Said exec has been quoted as saying that the first mobiles "bearing the new platform" wouldn't appear until 2010, which should be about the same time that the platform "has been fully open-sourced." For more of Öistämö's comments, head on down to the read link; for the nearest box of tissues... well, you're on the own there.

Does this mean we have to wait until 2010 for a new version of S60? I hope not. I love S60, but it is getting to be a little long in the tooth, even with FP2. I'd love to see a new version, distributed on the successors to the N-96/82/78.
