Nokia said that "all conditions to Nokia's offer to acquire Symbian Limited have been satisfied and it has received valid acceptance of greater than 99.9% of the total Symbian shares that Nokia did not already own".

Symbian is the software company that develops and licenses Symbian OS, the mobile OS that runs most Nokia phones.

The completion of the sale cements the founding the Symbian Foundation also by Nokia and several partnets.

Also as a result of the sale, all Symbian employees will become Nokia employees by February 1, 2009.
