Symbian has a joint venture originally set up by Ericsson, Nokia and Psion to develop an industry standard operating system for mobile multimedia terminals.
Symbian is currently owned by Ericsson (15.6%), Nokia (47.9%), Panasonic (10.5%), Samsung (4.5%), Siemens AG (8.4%), and Sony Ericsson (13.1%).
S60, the first OS by Symbian released in 2002, it’s one of the most used versions, used for a lot of top-selling phones (Nokia 6600, 6630, N-gage and all the N series, like recent N-70) and absolutely the most popular and stable version.
S80, used mostly by communicators (like Nokia 9210)
S90, another version less spread especially developed for supporting special devices. Unfortunately, Series 90 is completely incompatible with Series 60.
and most important point is all these models run on ARM Processor, a RISC processor type.
