1. INTRODUCTION

This Service Developer's Guide for the Nokia 6210 and the Nokia 6250 provides information and
practical examples for developers who want to develop WAP services for the Nokia 6210 and the Nokia
6250. The document will highlight the possibilities, limitations and requirements of service
development and provides a good introduction to the Nokia style of designing user interfaces.
Although the following chapters focus on the Nokia 6210 user interface, the guidelines can be applied
to the Nokia 6250 as the browser is basically the same in both phones.
The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) will enhance the functionality of mobile handsets through
real-time interactive services. The protocol has been designed specially for small screens and low
bandwidth, and it offers a wide variety of wireless services over the Internet using handsets. In addition
to Nokia 6210 and Nokia 6250 -specific issues, many of the instructions in this document can be used
to maximize interoperability and ease of use on various other browsers.
This guide is not written for service developers only, but essentially for anyone involved in creating the
wireless information society and anyone who needs to know more about service creation on small
mobile terminals. It can be used in conjunction with the Nokia WAP Toolkit.
The Toolkit offers developers an environment for creating, testing and demonstrating WAP applications.
This allows service providers to evaluate the usability of wireless applications and services together
with their end-user organization.
We at Nokia are very proud of our user interfaces and we have put a lot of effort into constantly
improving them. In this guide we have collected a lot of what we have learned to help developers
improve their services. We believe that good usability will increase use and satisfaction and
subsequently revenues for service providers.
This guide is not intended to be a detailed WAP document and it is not meant to replace any WAP
specification.
