Symbian has released a few more (unaudited) financial and operational figures for the second quarter and the six months ended 30th June 2003:

  Symbian OS unit shipments grew in H1 2003 to 2.68m (H1 2002: 0.23m units) as network operators worldwide introduce Nokia 7650, 3650 and Sony Ericsson's P800
  Symbian royalty revenues grew to £10.2m in H1 2003 (H1 2002: £1.5m)
  Total Symbian revenues grew to £21.1m in H1 2003 (H1 2002: £9.5m)

At the end of H1 2003, 26 phones and variants based on Symbian OS were under development by 9 licensees (this includes the BenQ P30, Samsung SGH-D700, Siemens SX-1, Nokia N-Gage - to be launched soon - and Nokia 6600). This compares to 16 phones and variants by 8 licensees one year before.

Symbian anticipates that most, but not all of these products, will come to market over the next eighteen months.
