1. WHERE NOKIA SERIES 60 UI BELONGS
Nokia Series 60 UI is intended for use in higher end mobile phones featuring personal
information management (PIM) and multimedia applications such as:
Calendars ·
·
·
·
·
Text and multimedia messaging
E-mail
WAP or other browsers
Imaging
The screen is suitable for viewing short messages and can also display colour or
grayscale images.
The data entry interface is optimised for a numeric ITU-T type keypad. Other input
devices are not considered in this document although it would be possible to support,
for example, an external keyboard.
One hand operation is a key rule: the user is able to do almost all tasks with just one
hand, pressing the keys with the thumb. A few exceptions exist in functions that are
targeted to power users and require pressing two keys simultaneously.
Nokia Series 60 UI is not an optimal user interface for very basic phones. All basic
phone functions can be done with it, but the capabilities of Series 60 UI would not
be fully utilised. There are other interface styles that are better than Series 60 UI for
the very basic phones.
Series 60 UI is also not designed for car based or wearable products, or for other
product categories significantly different from advanced hand-held mobile phones.
