Symbian 9.3 released

Symbian announced version 9.3 of its flagship smartphone OS. It adds several important high-end features, but also includes the ability for vendors to strip the system down to make it useful in lower-end handsets. In terms of volume shipments, Nokia still remains the leader in Symbian handsets. The OS is used in all of the company's S60 handsets.

New features in 9.3 include:
Improved memory management and general speed boosts because of that
Native support for WiFi
Support for firmware OTA (FOTA), HSDPA, IPSec for UMA and push-to-talk over cellular (PoC)

Symbian 7.0 Released

Symbian has released the 7th version of their popular mobile operating system. The new release add multi-tasking (surf the net AND download a file at the same time), an updated Java implementation, boosted multimedia capabilities and Arabic/Hebrew language support.

It's not clear if you can update your mobile device but our guess is not. You'll have to wait until your phone manufacturer/carrier gets their customized version of 7.0 done.
