Where the S60 user interface belongs

The S60 user interface is intended for use in mobile phones featuring personal information management (PIM) and multimedia applications such as:

  • Calendars

  • Text, multimedia and e-mail messaging

  • Mobile browsers

  • Imaging and audio applications and features

With standard ITU-T keypad devices, one hand operation is a key rule: the user is able to perform 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.
