Correct, KNFB Reader became software on certain Nokia phones running Symbian OS. Nokia no longer manufactures Symbian phones, and Symbian OS has been retired. Within a couple more years, Symbian phones will disappear considering the average and general lifespan of a mobile phone. As some people are very good about protecting their mobiles, it will probably be five more years before Symbians are completely gone.
