Symbian

A strange and bizarre partnership between Psion, Nokia and Ericsson that took two years to show its first offshoots and now dominates the smartphone marketplace.

In a nutshell, most Nokia Symbian devices use the Series 60 60 UI, whereas the SonyEricsson ones use UIQ . Either has its share of problems, UIQ more so.
