Satirical "Burning Platform" theme for Nokia Symbian gets a million downloads
Share:
Nokia loyals however were not happy with the development and kept cheering for home-grown MeeGo, which was also canned. And now, in an attempt to show it’s not all lost for Nokia, developer Michele Cerreta a.k.a. PiZero said the satirical “Burning Platform” theme was downloaded an impressive 1 million times in just 100 days.
“Symbian doesn’t seem dead,” the developer concludes. It’s not, of course, but it’s definitely headed that way like it or not. But you have to admit, Symbian has had a lot of loyal followers, and the platform definitely deserves respect for what it’s done.

I really loved Symbian the first time i held it in my hand. used it for more than 2 years. but you gotta evolve to attract the masses or you'll be history, in this case the "Burning Platform".

Thanks for supporting Symbian PIZERO.
Your themes as always are top-notch.
iOS Style also is super cool on my 701.
I hope other developers hear you and bring some cool new HD games for us.

I have Nokia 808 with newly released Belle FP2 and it's awesome. I wouldn't change it for any smartphone currently on the market.

i guess,they could have just bumped up the specs and got some gud developers for it...
take the new asha touch phones,elop n all could get EA to develop games for those,but not symbian??would have saved alot of money...
symbian wasnt as dead as elop told us it was...
my opinion..
