1.1 What is Series 60?

Today's mobile phones let you do much more than just placing phone calls or sending short text messages
(SMS). They usually have an appointment calendar, a to-do list, an e-mail program, a WAP browser, and
other features. And they may even come with a built-in camera, a radio, or an MP3 player.
Nokia has developed Series 60 to provide a common groundwork for smartphones that meet such
requirements and licenses it to other mobile phone manufacturers, saving them from having to reinvent
the wheel and enabling them to concentrate on design or application features that make their devices
unique.
The model name of a phone is not an indication of whether the phone is based on the Series 60 platform.
For example, the Nokia 6xxx models are not necessarily Series 60 phones. You can find a list of available
and planned Symbian phones at http://www.symbian.com/phones.
Most phones that are labeled Series 60 can work with the Nuance Accessibility Suite for Series 60. Other
versions of the Accessibility Suite software support the Nokia Communicator phones. To find out which
phones the Nuance Accessibility Suite supports or where you can buy them, have a look at the Nuance
