According to the Spanish website elmundo.es, company Motorola plans to abandon development of its own products based on the Symbian operating system and concentrate on the platform Android. The website names Oscar Rodriguez as the source, director of mobile units of Motorola in Spain.

He told the press that Motorola would suspend nearly all production in 2009 in order to prepare an entirely new line of smart phones based on Android to the Christmas season sales. He said that the company could show weak sales during three quarters, for the sake of big bets for the future.

Interestingly, in October Sanjay Jha mentioned that Motorola is not going to create new devices with Symbian UIQ, however, the company still is a member of the Symbian Foundation. Also according to earlier news, Motorola hopes to create phone based not only on Android in the future, but also “a strong portfolio of” Windows Mobile 7 devices.
