Nokia will stick with Symbian while looking another wife like Maemo or Android to become another partner.
Kallasvuo directly addressed recent blog reports that Nokia is replacing Symbian with the Linux-based Maemo OS on its high-end handsets, leading to speculation about what that means for Symbian’s future.
Using Symbian makes good business sense for Nokia, and allows the company to develop cheap smartphones that will democratise the form factor, said Kallasvuo.
Today, the biggest drawback with Symbian is its user interface, which hasn’t kept up with touch-based user interfaces on devices like the iPhone and phones based on Google’s Android OS.
In the middle of next year, a new version of Symbian will make a first step toward a better user interface, and this time next year the user experience on Symbian will be a non-issue, according to Kallasvuo.
Upcoming versions of Symbian will reduce clutter, decrease the number of clicks to get to features like music and email and offer a much faster user interface, promised Kai Öistämö, executive vice president of devices at Nokia.

As per said, Symbian is the great OS especially when we talk about 9300 communicator. People always love it and will have no replacement for them (memoryland).
