Nokia today introduced two new Feature Packs for the Series 60 Platform

Series 60 Second Edition is the first smart phone platform that will include both CDMA configurations as well as dual-mode WCDMA-GSM. Dual-mode WCDMA -GSM will offer full support for operators' 3G services and pave the way for video telephony and advanced streaming & browsing capabilities on mobile devices.

For enhanced user experience Series 60 sets a new benchmark by bringing high display resolutions by 208x208, 240x320 QVGA and 352x416 in both portrait and landscape orientations. The UI framework will include the support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) that will enable third party developers to design layout aware applications that can intuitively adjust to the different resolutions.

On top of the existing features, Series 60 Second Edition will have a rich enterprise environment with IMAP-IDLE support for push email, improved data synchronization and full-featured corporate intranet browsing with HTML and JavaScript support. Secure corporate connectivity will be enabled via IPSec and VPN.
