The Series 60 Platform is a complete Symbian OS based smart phone terminal software product. The large color screen size, easy to use interface for single-handed navigation, and suite of applications makes this software ideally suited to support the new mobile services, such as rich content downloading and MMS.
Differentiate and innovate
The Series 60 Platform, licensed as source code, provides manufacturers a wide range of flexibility in designing their devices and adding their own differentiating innovations. They may also license these innovations back to the Series 60 community and provide valuable input to the future direction of the platform.
Series 60 licensees receive a comprehensive software package that includes all the required service enablers, the complete user interface (UI), and a wide variety of applications. As a recognition of its innovative and intuitive design, the Series 60 UI was awarded an iF Design Award in 2003 in the Communication & Digital Media category.
Reduce development time and cost
The Series 60 Platform provides a significant reduction of time-to-market and development cost for terminal manufacturers. A strong Product Creation Community has also been built, consisting of specialized software and hardware companies that help licensees bring full-featured smart phones to market swiftly, help customize devices for specific needs, and help manage associated development costs.
A large market
The Series 60 Platform is licensed by some of the foremost mobile phone manufacturers including Siemens, Samsung, Panasonic, Sendo, Lenovo, and Nokia. The first Series 60 based phones are already on the market, selling in the millions. These phones bring immediate business opportunities for both developers and operators and simultaneously build up a solid, commercially viable applications market for the upcoming Series 60 phones.
