Story: Preview of Nokia S60 Feature Pack 2
Today we had the chance to view Nokia's upcoming S60 Feature Pack 2 user interface in action on a 6290 handset. S60 FP2, which was announced last week, includes a number of new user experience enhancements both practical and pretty. To start with, you will notice that there is now a label for the d-pad/joystick's center select button. The functionality has been there for a while without the on-screen label, but now the display will tell the user exactly what will happen if they press the button. In the case of the photos above, it will select the currently highlighted item. Some other obvious changes have been added to Nokia's Active Standby screen mode, also shown above. Now a number of Active Standby themes can be used, including a new vertical one, though the original horizontal format is still available.
