Mobility transforms the internet - S60 5th Edition

The ability to access the internet with a device that is always with you offers new and exciting opportunities. Unlike a desktop PC, an internet-capable mobile device allows you to access all kinds of fun and interesting services, on the spot, wherever you are. You can search for retail locations, cafes, or restaurants, and find information on your resort. You can read the news and communicate with friends and family via the web through email, IM, and various social networking services. With an internet-capable device you can also easily share photos and videos with those close to you.



Internet in mobile is not only for fun – it can also provide you with help when you need it most. It’s useful to be able to look up maps on your home PC, but when you’re lost and running late for an interview, having search and mapping functionality on your device is invaluable. On a business trip or in a client meeting, closing a successful sale might depend on you having real-time access to your company’s pricing or stock information.

S60 5th Edition takes the internet experience to the next level, integrating it seamlessly into your daily life and providing a new kind of user experience with a touch-screen user interface.

Complete web experience

The S60 web browser, based on the open source Webkit browser engine, delivers full web content (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) compliance and performance, and provides you with an enjoyable, desktop-like browsing experience. Comprehensive support for both web and mobile internet technologies means that you can access both categories using the same browser.

The S60 browser's user interface has several innovative features, allowing a desktop-like user experience on small-screen devices. A "Page Overview" function with fast zoom support makes it easy to navigate between and around your favorite webpage. Visual history shows a thumbnail of previously visited websites, making it easy to identify the page you want to return to. The browser also supports multiple open windows, pop-up blocking, URL auto-complete, password manager, and a toolbar for accessing the most frequently used functions. These are all examples of the great functionality provided by the S60 browser that you will already be familiar with from desktop browser environments.

You can also enjoy rich experiences such as YouTube or other Flash-powered sites thanks to the inclusion of Flash Lite 3 (which supports most Flash 8-based content), a framework that brings Flash content to mobile devices. Interactive forms built with AJAX, complex CSS, or Javascript are all accessible with the S60 web browser.

The internet is more than just a browser: Make it personal with web applications

S60 Web Runtime (WRT) combines the power of the web with the power of the smartphone platform by turning standard web technology into a powerful environment for creating mobile applications. Content owners can use these lightweight web applications to deliver instant, optimized access to the web-based services and content that you use most frequently. You can take advantage of web applications and personalize your mobile device for internet use. You can connect directly to the information and services that matter most to you, without having to open a browser, type an address, or carry out a search.

In S60 5th Edition, developers can use S60 Platform Services to add personal data and context awareness to their web applications. Web applications can combine web-based data with the S60 platform’s powerful capabilities, such as GPS location information, calendar, camera, sensors, and more.

As an S60 user, this development brings a new level of convenience and personalized services to your mobile device. Applications that integrate personal data, such as your current location, will make internet services even more powerful and relevant, offering a clear advantage over desktop-based environments.

Integrate web 2.0 into your daily life

S60 5th Edition also keeps you connected to online communities such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, VOX, and many more. With S60 5th Edition device you can take a photo and instantly share it with friends and family in your favorite community – it’s as easy as sending an SMS.

Many social media sites also offer a S60 mobile client to enable easy status updates. These clients can be found for example at the individual sites, where you can download and install them easily.

The power to browse the web is only one touch away

With touch-enabled products powered by S60 5th Edition, the internet experience is made even more convenient with the ability to scroll through webpages and interact directly with content by touching with a finger or using keys or a stylus. The experience is further enhanced with touch-optimized toolbars that provide easy access to browser and internet application options.

Nokia is committed to leading the evolution of the web in the future and making it a more mobile environment. We are also dedicated to offering you all the experiences available via internet-connected PCs – and more.
