lol nokia's symbian 2nd.... yea right you mean windows phone 7 os? But this video is kind of not accurate. We all know most people have computers so it makes sense that smartphone is outselling computers in the future. But once the smartphone approaches the peak, it is gonna fall like computers.

@chltmdwp The video is totally correct re: Symbian.
Nokia's Symbian is still number 2 Globally as a Smart Phone O/S - Not in the US - granted....and yes it changed to Windows Phone 7 this year.
There is more to the World than just America and many the world over are still using Symbian: "On February 11th, 2011, Nokia announced that it would migrate away from Symbian to Windows Phone 7"......lmao.
