What is S60 3rd Edition?

Before S60 5th Edition came to our market, S6o 3rd Edition was the latest platform of Symbian operating system. After S6o 3rd Edition, Nokia launched the S60 5th Edition which is currently the latest platform on our market as well as it is the last Series of S6o. New versions of Symbian are coming and probably devices will be released this coming July 2010. There's no S60 4th Edition.

(S60v3) uses a hardened version of Symbian OS (v9.1), which has mandatory code signing. In S60v3, a user may install only programs that have a certificate from a registered developer, unless the user disables that feature or modify the phone's firmware through third-party hacks that circumvent the mandatory signing restrictions. This makes software written for S60 1st Edition or 2nd Edition not binary-compatible with S60v3. In 2006, a "Designed for S60 Devices" logo program for developers was launched. The logotype can be used with conforming programs (Symbian or Java).
