3230 is a smart phone based on Symbian8.0a operating system.

At present, smart phones mainly include symbian linux windows and palm. Among them, symbian has the most software and the largest market share.

Symbian operating system was formerly EPOC, and these four letters can be seen in some software now. It is an operating system specially designed for mobile phones jointly developed by communication giants headed by Nokia.

Symbian operating system development language is c++. He can make better use of hardware resources than windows. To achieve the same performance, window ce often needs much more hardware than symbian.

Second, classification

The mobile phones of symbian operating system mainly include s60, s80, s90 and uiq. These four refer to interfaces. Different from the desktop windows we usually use, the operating system kernel and interface of windows are integrated, that is to say, we can't change a face for windows, we can only make up for it. Other operating systems, such as linux, have two commonly used graphical interfaces: kde and gnome. The operation modes under the two interfaces may be quite different. Software also has compatibility problems. Symbian has these four platforms.

s60

S60 is a 60 series. This is the most common interface of symbian. Most Nokia smartphones have this interface. Most of the screen is 176*208. No touch screen. Only keyboard operations are supported. Representative models are Nokia 7650, Nokia 6600, Nokia 668 1, etc.

s80

Nokia calls this series a mobile phone communicator, which shows the powerful functions of this series. Representative works Nokia 9500, Nokia 9300. The appearance is s40 interface, which opens horizontally like a small notebook. Touch screen is not supported.

s90

There are currently two models in this series. 7700 died unfortunately. It's only 77 10. Large screen, supporting handwriting and touch screen.

UIQ

The first three are Nokia, and UIQ is mainly Sony Ericsson and moto. But moto has abandoned all symbian and embraced linux instead. Support handwriting and touch screen. And s60, which are the mainstream of symbian operating system.

Sometimes it's easy to get confused when you see some abbreviations on the Internet. As follows:

S60 refers to the 60 series.

S80 refers to the 80 series.

S90 refers to series 90.

S6. 1 indicates that the operating system version is symbian 6. 1.

S7.0 refers to symbian 7.0 and so on.

Third, the future.

Now symbian has the largest share of all operating systems. Palm is in decline and has little vitality. Linux is developing rapidly with the advantages of open source, and it may become a tripartite confrontation. Now and most competitive is windows ce, which is a mobile version of desktop windows. His compatibility with windows is innate. The operation mode is also very similar. However, after testing, the office suite under symbian operating system is also very compatible with ms office. We will wait and see who will win the competition.
