EVOLUTION OF SERIES 60 PLATFORM

Series 60 will extend to both volume mid-range and high-end categories, becoming a truly scalable and feature-rich platform. Series 60 will support all input methods - ITU (one-hand), QWERTY, pen input/touch screen and the industry-best selection of screen sizes with high resolution displays. In the future, Series 60 will be available in a wide portfolio of mobile devices, encompassing multiple categories, price points and user segments with state-of-the-art components and designs. The capability of supporting both volume and high-end products makes Series 60 truly a unique and very appealing terminal software in the industry. Scalability of Series 60 for multiple device categories will result in maximal number of available applications, maximal interoperability and compliancy.

In the future, Series 60 will support single and dual processing architectures, covering all relevant user interface (UI) sizes and form factors and a variety of high-resolution displays in different sizes. Series 60 will support the following screen resolutions: 176x208, 240x320 (QVGA), 352x416 and 640x320. Series 60 will support media consumption, state-of-the-art browsing, and an impressive gaming experience. This allows creation of uncompromised high-end products. The new features of Series 60 Platform will become available gradually.

As a result, the extended scope of Series 60 - the mid-range and high-end devices, scalability and advanced technical development - will bring economies-of-scale, which will mean larger device volumes and cost-savings for operators, developers and service providers.

I guess this is to do with what I read somewhere about Series 60 and 90 fusing together. I just cant get enough of Series 60 really...so easy to use.

nokia should really start making phones with QVGA displays... the 6630 screen is going to look pretty bad next to the rest of the Vodafone 3G headsets coming out early next year..

Zalameh, maybe true, but to me it seems ok as 6630 is out now, sweeping the cream of the market by initial higher price. When the competition hits the market they can lower the price and have proven and smoothly running production and logistics and place and can therefore retain their profit per unit. Then later in 2005 they'll release higher colour and resolution phones with some even better other features and again brand loyal people will buy the phone with initially high price point. :)

You would have thought Nokia would have done something by now, Sharp has had QVGA for ages. If you read the Nokia press release thingy (link was on here somewhere) you will see that 240x320 and 352x416 resolutions are in the pipeline. The 352x416 one should look stunning...
