Nokia Series 60
Nokia Series 60, popularly known as S60, is one of the most common and popular software platforms and applications for the Smartphone series. Developed and owned by Nokia, the Nokia Series 60 is one of the most widely used platforms, now licensed to some of the leading companies such as LG Electronics, Samsung, Panasonic and Lenovo, among others. S60 forms the base of the N-Gage Series, thus adding to the functionality and personality of the phone. With its range of features and applications, the S60 has become one of the most common softwares available in more than 60 mobile phones, cutting across different manufacturers and models.

The advantages of S60 are many, with the biggest one being the tremendous increase in the functionalities of the phone. The cellphone can then be used for more than just talking. It includes a suite of features, which makes the phone not only “smarter”, but also much more user-friendly.

Easy to use and simple to understand, the Nokia Series 60 is known best for allowing the user to download many more applications, after the phone has been bought. Moreover, colorful and good-looking, the S60 enables the user to open and use several applications at the same time. These advanced applications increase the functionality of the phone. Unlike other interfaces, what stands out in Nokia Series 60 is the fact that it allows the user to download advanced applications afterwards from most of the third party vendors. Thus, you can not only play games on the phone, but also send emails, browse the internet, use dictionaries and get city guides. The phone features can therefore be personalized to suit your specific needs. While it allows you to personalize the phone uses, there is also built-in features in the software to customize the ring tones, the wall papers and the desktop of your phone. The software application also allows you to connect with other phones, which in turn depends on the specific phone features as well. This could be achieved through Blutooth, USB, infra red or network connection.

For those phones which have facilities for internet connection, the Nokia Series 60 offers a fully fledged web browser for the phone. So that you can see the same web browser (that you see on your computer) on your phone as well. The number of applications that you can download into the phone is phenomenal, with some of them being free, while others are charged. Like the computer software, there are several editions to the Nokia Series 60, with the latest edition, and the most powerful, being the third Edition. While the later editions have better functions and more user friendly, these are even more popular with most of the Smartphone series. Some of the phones which use the S60 within Nokia are Nokia N77, Nokia 5700, Nokia E65, Nokia N76, Nokia N71, Nokia N-Gage QD, Nokia N-Gage, Nokia N90, Nokia 3230 and Nokia 6600, among others.
