For almost 16 years, Symbian has served as a primary mobile OS for many of the top of the line mobile phone manufacturers, but that has finally come to the end with Nokia’s announcement of the final shipment of Symbian powered handsets this week.

So, what killed Symbian? Complexity, according to Nokia. In reports, the company blamed Symbian's difficult and unfriendly code structure for the extended time it takes for a phone using that OS to be developed.
