The popularity of the Symbian operating system is increasing with undiminished energy, which is mostly due to its customizability and open nature. NTT DoCoMo has only such handsets in its offer that correspond the operator's strict hardware and software requirements, no matter who is the manufacturer. Lately, however, the Japanese manufacturer has recognized the possibilities of the Symbian playform and have included another model based on an open operating system in its offer. FOMA SH706iw, manufactured by Sharp has the typical Japanese features besides its expandability. For the spreading of Symbian it is an important factor that they are becoming successful in Japan, as besides Sharp, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson are also shipping similar solutions.
