OS Review : S40 6th Edition
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;</li>
<li>Full-fledged support for Flash Lite 3 that allows running games and various animated swf files, including time- and date-conscious wallpapers; </li>
<li>Support for WiFi that extends beyond VoIP – data connections are now available too </li>
<li>Enhanced phonebook, revamped email client;</li>
<li>New browser building upon WebKit open source project;</li>
<li>Maps application integrated into the platform, although its an older version compared to the app found in S60-powered devices;</li>
<li>Support for new Java APIs - JSR-179 Location API, JSR-205 – Wireless Messaging API;</li>
<li>OMA Message 1.3;</li>
<li>Horizontal scrolling of lists in the user interface;</li>
<li>Themes now apply to radio application and multimedia player;</li>
<li>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 : http://www.mobile-review.com/review/s40-6th-edition-en.shtml
