But the final nail in the coffin came with the likes of Android and iOS. While Symbian did enjoy a 73% market share in 2006, lingering problems with the platform along with new players in the mobile space and in-fighting within Nokia, who was at that point maintaining the OS, eventually displaced Symbian to irrelevance and obscurity. Symbian did enjoy some significant market share in Europe and Asia, but [[Americans Hate Tingle|not in North America]] where Nokia isn't as popular. Not even the touch-centric S60 5th Edition saved the platform, and by extension, Nokia, from its eventual demise—while the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and later N97 were [[Product Placement|hyped to death]] by being featured in films and music videos, and touted as "iPhone killers" due to their touchscreen interface along with the N97 sporting a pop-up keyboard, they were saddled with numerous issues which led to Nokia's decline in the 2010s.
A number of games were released for Symbian devices, making it an interesting window into mobile gaming during the 2000's.
Not to be confused with ''sybian'' (if you're looking for something a little, um, pleasurable), ''symbion'' or ''symbiosis''.
