LONDON--Symbian's newly crowned CEO, Nigel Clifford, has reiterated his company's commitment to midtier phones and promised to smarten up the market as a whole.

Speaking at the company's Smartphone Show here Tuesday, Clifford said Symbian's chief ambition remains to target the middle ground of handsets. "It's a key issue for us, moving beyond the smart-phone niche," he said.

"We want to move beyond the niche to midtier, high-volume phones...We're working hard to make that a reality," Clifford said.

The Symbian boss seems to have plans to expand its mobile operating system as far as possible. "Our ambition is to keep the smart in smart phone...and take it and embed it in every phone out there," he said.
