Week sales (and revenues) from the unpopular P800/900 series +the imminent release of Nokia's top performer 7700 . . . No wonder Sony wants to 'throw in the towel' This message was posted from a Nokia 7650

I am not sure if you have any clue for what you said. How can you say that P800 & P900 is not popular unlike the N7700 which is not even available yet.

I don't think that Sony will leave the Symbian platform soon. On the contrary: Quote:Sony aims to fill the Clie void with new advanced handsets from Sony Ericsson, its cell phone venture with Sweden's Ericsson, and a new handheld game machine, the PlayStation Portable (PSP).

From Reuters .

And I don't think is to put PalmOS on their handsets. Symbian is far more powerful as smartphone OS.

Hopefully this will free up resources to work on the Symbian platform software and increase quality and reliability of it, which would transfer to better phones.
