It was almost a year ago that a senior Samsung VP was quoted expressing plans to drop Symbian<http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/11/samsung-dropping-symbian-for-bada-in-2010-says-senior-vp/>. Samsung quickly backtracked<http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/samsung-responds-to-symbian-claims-says-its-still-supporting-i/>on those comments with a vague commitment to its multi-OS strategy. Well, the other shoe just dropped via an email sent to registered Symbian developers advising that Samsung would close its Symbian forum and remove all Symbian content by year's end. Not that we can blame them -- while Symbian is just starting to show signs of recovery the OS has been floundering<http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/gartner-symbian-is-re-arranging-the-deck-chairs-losing-buoya/>over the last few years. And Samsung, Nokia's biggest threat in its bid to democratize smartphone sales, is already plenty busy with Bada<http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/11/10/samsung-announces-bada-mobile-os-sdk-sets-sail-in-december/>, Windows Phone 7, and Android. So while Samsung might still be a member of Symbian Foundation, it, like Sony Ericsson<http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/24/sony-ericsson-says-it-has-no-plans-for-any-new-symbian-product/>, is doing so in name only.
