In this section, you will be treated to some very using information about Nokia s40 phones.
What is A S40 Operating System
The term Series 40 (short form of S40)is a simpler operating system variant then the higher end S60(which is
based on the multi-tasking Symbian Operating system).
Because S40 devices do not support true multi-tasking and do not have a native code API for third parties(which allows applications to be sent via connectivity tools such as Bluetooth), its user interface however
appear to be more responsive and faster than other Nokia platforms.
Brief History of Nokia S40
The first Series 40 devices (introduced in 2002) had only 128×128 pixels large display screens
Over the years, the S40 UI has evolved from a low-resolution UI to a high-resolution color UI
with an enhanced graphical look.
The third generation of Series 40 that became available in 2005 introduced support for devices with resolutions as high as 240x320pixels and even 320 X 240.
It is also possible to customize the look-and-feel of the UI via comprehensive themes.
