In a business-related move, Nokia has reportedly acquired the unit responsible for the Symbian OS. This includes all engineers and customer support which are responsible for providing engineering consulting and product development services for mobile operators.

Services provided by the Symbian Professional Services teams include advanced technical support, techniques for enhancing performance, memory, and power, advanced error diagnosis and repair, and turnkey software development services that can be used in a range of technical environments.

There will be approximately 165 people who will transfer to Accenture. The agreement is expected to be ironed out by the third quarter of this year.
