Series 60 2 nd Edition (a.k.a. 2.0) was first introduced in Nokia 6600. It was a major change from previous S60 devices in terms of moving to internet standard protocols instead of WAP protocols, new Symbian OS version, etc. It also introduced support for rich UI themes. 2 nd Edition has been since enhanced with three additional packs of new features. Feature Pack 1 (a.k.a. 2.1) introduced support for EDGE networks. The standard Series 60 browser started to support HTML 4.01 language, thereby allowing access to certain (fairly simple) standard web pages, in addition to supporting mobile portals through XHTML/CSS technologies. Feature Pack 1 also introduced other new possibilities, such as Presence Enhanced Contacts and a standalone Presence application supporting Wireless Village specifications for presence information Feature Pack 2 (a.k.a. 2.6) introduced support for WCDMA networks. This also called for new applications, such as Video Telephony application. Major new application introduced in this phase was also the Active Idle – giving easy access to personal data, applications, and operator services straight from the idle screen Feature Pack 3 (a.k.a. 2.8) allowed for the first time Series 60 devices to have higher resolution displays (176x208, 240x320(QVGA), 352x416) 3 rd Edition is truly a new major platform release, supporting all the features and functions of the 2nd Edition and even more - especially in the enterprise and multimedia areas. In addition, the Series 60 Platform 3rd Edition introduces a new level of flexibility and security into the platform, enabling manufacturers more easily to create devices targeted to mass markets.
