Just fyi., S40 is an application layer for the underly ISA, or informally known as Nokia OS. Since it is not licensed to anyone other company so it isn't has a trademarked name like Symbian does.

So technically speaking Nokia still has a flagship OS....to compete with all those low-end but function-rich China brands phones.
