The Symbian Smartphone Show is officially over for this year. The most notable news, as far as I see, is the launch of two new Symbian OS powered handsets by Samsung and LG Electronics. Hope their products will sell well, as it would be nice to see more smartphones coming from the two companies.
If you take a look at the present Symbian OS handset market, two companies are dominating the industry – Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Japanese NTT DoCoMo orders phones from other manufacturers for their own subscribers, and those phones are rarely (if at all) available outside Japan. Addition of Samsung’s and LGE’s phones to the Symbian ecosystem could further strengthen the position of Symbian OS in the mobile OS market. And could also provide benefits to the users of the two companies’ smartphones.
In addition to the new phones, many interesting applications and services were presented. Full retrospective is available from these two links: day 1 and day 2. Also, if you still haven’t – read the keynote from the Symbian’s CEO Nigel Clifford.
Again, unfortunately I wasn’t in London during the Smartphone Show. However, I think I gave my best to present you the full picture. For that matter, I’ve used photos from other sites including: AllAboutSymbian, SymbianOne and the official Smartphone Show blog. Enjoy! 
UPDATE: Also, see the David Wood’s favourites from the Smartphone Show.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
