It looks like Nokia isn’t quite ready to assign their aging Symbian operating system to the mobile trashcan in favour of Windows Phone 7, and the word is Nokia will be hitting London on the 12th of April to hold a Symbian smartphone event.

According to the guys over at Engadget and by way of Mad for Tech, Nokia had sent out invites for the Symbian event for Tuesday and confirmed via a phone call to Nokia by Engadget.

It’s not too clear what Nokia will be showcasing at the event, obviously Symbian so the speculation is that Nokia may show off the next over the air update to Symbian smartphones, but no doubt all will be revealed on the day.

Perhaps Nokia will show new Symbian handsets along with a new UI that could possibly run alongside their Windows Phone 7 offerings, who knows, but it’s clear that Nokia isn’t willing to say goodbye to Symbian just yet.
