Chief Executive Commentary

Nigel Clifford, Chief Executive Officer, Symbian Ltd today said:

"Symbian continued to lead the smartphone market in Q1 2007, with 16 million Symbian smartphones shipping worldwide, bringing the total shipment of Symbian smartphones since the Company's formation to over 126 million."

Global Success

Symbian continued its global success with a sustained market share of 72% of the smartphone market during Q12 and new, innovative Symbian smartphones launched in the US, Europe and Asia. In Q1 2007 25 per cent of Symbian OS unit shipments were in Japan and 13 per cent in China3. In January 2007, Symbian held the official opening of an expanded Beijing office to support Symbian OS licensees and the growing Chinese developer base.

As a global leader, Symbian is committed to providing a product fit for diverse regional market requirements, offering extensive customization options and supporting global technology standards as well as languages from 99% of the world’s countries.

20 million Symbian smartphone shipments in Japan to date

I am delighted that Symbian has passed a significant milestone of 20 million unit shipments cumulatively in Japan. The first 3G phone based on Symbian OS shipped in Japan in 2003 and since then 54 Symbian OS-based models have shipped in many market segments, manufactured by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Motorola, Nokia, Sharp, and Sony Ericsson.

It took three years to reach the first 10 million Symbian smartphones and less than one year to reach the next 10 million. This growth was driven by remarkable innovation from the advanced 3G mobile market in Japan, as well as the flexible and sophisticated capabilities of Symbian OS that reduce time-to-market and meet the high standards of handset vendors and network operators.

Symbian OS v9.5 announced for high performance and mass market

At CTIA 2007, we launched the latest evolution of our product, Symbian OS v9.5. Fully backward compatible with all versions of the v9 family, Symbian OS v9.5 offers over 70 new features as well as performance improvements with reductions in requirements on memory, processor and battery, enabling future Symbian smartphones to run on feature-phone hardware.

Symbian OS v9.5 has many new enterprise features including improved synchronization and support for a large number of contacts using a SQL database. In addition, seamless multi-tasking, uninterrupted VoIP, and automatic switching between 3G and Wi-Fi, offer superior productivity for business professionals.

Powering best-in-class multimedia

Multimedia capability is a priority for Symbian as it is essential to entice the large and dynamic youth market. New Symbian smartphones with extraordinary multimedia capabilities announced or commenced shipping during Q1 2007, include:

• Nokia N77 based on S60, a stylish and affordable device with integrated DVB-H for an optimized mobile TV experience
• MOTORIZR Z8 based on UIQ, the world's first 'kick-slider' design with industry-leading high definition video playback and HSDPA
• Nokia N95 based on S60, features a pioneering 2-way slide concept, integrated GPS, a 5 megapixel camera and HSDPA
• FOMATM F903iX HIGH-SPEED based on MOAP, a QVGA swinging TFT LCD 2.4-inch display with HSDPA and H.264 video playback capability

Symbian OS v9.5 will power even richer multimedia experiences with integrated support for multi-standard digital TV, media protocols, and 35 new camera features. Symbian OS v9.5 also enables seamless connectivity and best-in-class power management fundamental to the mass market multimedia experience.

Delivering faster time-to-market

In Q1 07 Symbian underlined its commitment to reducing time-to-market for the ecosystem through:

• Operator platform commitments: In Q1 2007, Telefónica Móviles España, T-Mobile and Telecom Italia announced their choice of a platform based on Symbian OS. They join Vodafone, Orange and NTT DoCoMo in sharing the benefits of reduced time-to-market for new service delivery, scalability, and cost reduction
• Compatibility: Symbian is delivering on its promise of compatibility across v9.x releases, resulting in strong growth of S60 and UIQ applications based on Symbian OS v9
• More choice of development environments: Symbian launched P.I.P.S (P.I.P.S. is POSIX on Symbian OS) in January 2007 as part of our ongoing investment to bring more developers to mobile with a choice of familiar environments and fast porting of existing assets.

Symbian Outlook

We are seeing two significant areas of new smartphone growth in addition to the established multimedia and enterprise markets: emerging economies and mass market segments. Both have stringent requirements for security, high performance, extended differentiation, long battery life, and low cost. Through deep collaboration with Symbian OS licensees, support of a thriving ecosystem and development of market-leading multimedia, graphics and connectivity solutions, Symbian is driving the market, enabling even richer experiences at lower cost.

We look forward to continued growth in adoption of Symbian OS through 2007. We will see a continuation of innovative devices across a range of segments from the world’s leading handset vendors, who have all launched or are developing phones on Symbian OS v9.”
