In a bid to thwart the onslaught of new players like Google’s Android and the ever powerful Apple 3G iPhones, Nokia decides to shelve out $410 million to buy the rest of the 48 percent of Symbian that it does not own. Good thing from this is that it buys Nokia more time to check its strategies and it spins Symbian into an open source concept. Good job Nokia. That’s why I use your Nokia N95 right now….and I am still waiting for your haptic phones to roll out. There’s already a few Samsung haptic phones out. Hmmmm

Nokia may have just switched the balance of power from proprietary to open source mobile phone software by buying the remainder of the Symbian operating system software concern and spinning out the assets under an open source license.

This move, in which Nokia paid $410 million to buy the 48 percent of Symbian it didn’t already own and set up the Symbian Foundation as a new open source entity through which to offer the OS, is a survivalist’s calculation to thwart growing threats from proprietary and open source vendors alike.

Just got confirmation from my Nokia source that the Nokia GPS navigation licence on my Malaysian Nokia N95 is actually  $112.89 (Singapore dollars). That works out to about RM86.54 per year if you get the 3 year licence.

Very cheap considering the other GPS products out there in the market. I might just buy it after I confirm the payment via Credit card on this phone is fool proof. They should really add a Premium SMS option to it instead of credit card payments.

Any of  you out there using the Navigation on the Nokia N95 or 6110 navigator?
