Symbian, the mobile OS company is expected to announce an upgrade to its OS to version 9.5 at CTIA, that hopefully will decrease its reliance on smartphones, its main patron Nokia, and also ward off competition from fast growing rival mobile operating systems, Windows Mobile and Linux.

The upgrade is even more crucial for the London-based company because large mobile carriers - Vodafone in particular - want to support as few operating systems as possible.
