As usual, Eldar is the first again, this time he’s covering an in – depth review on the S40 6th Edition, the next version of Nokia OS for Nokia feature phones.

Which main changes can we expect ?
“Transition effects were the cornerstone of S60 FP2 update and they did a great job adding new flavors to the user interface. So now feature phones can benefit from this feature, as they have added one effect that makes pop-up windows with notifications appear on the screen smoothly. While these special effects are eye-candy, occasionally they seem somewhat sluggish due to the CPU’s insufficient speed;

  • Full-fledged support for Flash Lite 3 that allows running games and various animated swf files, including time- and date-conscious wallpapers;
  • Support for WiFi that extends beyond VoIP – data connections are now available too
  • Enhanced phonebook, revamped email client;
  • New browser building upon WebKit open source project;
  • Maps application integrated into the platform, although its an older version compared to the app found in S60-powered devices;
  • Support for new Java APIs – JSR-179 Location API, JSR-205 – Wireless Messaging API;
  • OMA Message 1.3;
  • Horizontal scrolling of lists in the user interface;
  • Themes now apply to radio application and multimedia player;
  • New UI elements – pop-up windows”Although, I find the new menu icons rather sluggish and ugly, hopefully someone will make some good themes soon. So head over to the review, at Mobile-Review.
