Symbian BlackBerry!?

Symbian BlackBerry?New report from the leading Japanese financial services group, Nomura Holdings Inc., indicates that Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) could soon start to produce its flagship BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) devices with Symbian OS.

That’s still very speculative, but the fact stands that as the demand of the customers grow, RIM’s platform won’t be able to handle such tasks as viewing and editing office documents.

Furthermore, Nomura’s analysts argue that the cost of completely rebuilding RIM’s software is way too expensive. Therefore, RIM could easily switch to Symbian. Current mobile Linux is everything but secure and Windows Mobile is well… Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s product, leaving the Symbian OS as an only viable platform… Unstrung has an article on the subject.

I find it VERY interesting just to think about it. Can you imagine a device stylish as the new BlackBerry Pearl running on the Symbian OS? :)
