Series 80 (software platform)

<a href="/facts/Nokia/bCleFoF4">Nokia</a>'s Series 80 (formerly Crystal) is a discontinued, short-lived mobile software <a href="/facts/Computing_platform/DmKwp5Bk">platform</a> for their enterprise and professional level <a href="/facts/Smartphone/cSIrBMWG">smartphones</a>, introduced in 2000. It runs on the <a href="/facts/Symbian/gbRl35V9">Symbian</a> <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a> (OS). Common physical properties of this Symbian OS <a href="/facts/User_interface/e9sPEWVD">user interface</a> platform are a <a href="/facts/Display_resolution/8LQTWvl3">display resolution</a> of 640×200 pixels and a full <a href="/facts/QWERTY/0DCjXEa9">QWERTY</a> keyboard. Series 80 used the large size of the Communicator screens to good effect, but software had to be developed for it uniquely, for a relatively small market.
The final Series 80 device was the <a href="/facts/Nokia_9300i/Ft3DDyf4">Nokia 9300i</a>, announced in 2005 and shipped in 2006. Nokia used <a href="/facts/S60_(software_platform)/NfBtjoKf">S60 3rd Edition</a> instead of the Series 80 platform on its final "Communicator" branded device, the <a href="/facts/Nokia_E90_Communicator/MQN9uRjn">Nokia E90 Communicator</a>, released in 2007.
