Samsung Electronics will continue to adopt Windows Mobile- and Android-based platforms for new smartphones launched in 2010, but will quit Symbian and adopt in-house developed open operating system Samsung Bada, according to senior vice president Don Joo Lee.

Samsung's handset shipments will top 200 million units in 2009 and the volume is likely to increase 10-20% in 2010, buoyed by the development of new technologies and the launch of new models, Lee said.
