Quartz

Symbian provides the platform on which the next generation of mobile phones run. These next generation devices are beginning to reach the market now, and will proliferate throughout the year 2000. The Ericsson R380 is an example of one of these devices based on the Symbian platform. By 2003, there will be 1 billion of these Wireless Information Devices on the market, as predicted by Nokia, one of Symbian’s shareholders.

Symbian has created several reference designs upon which handset manufacturers can design mobile devices. Quartz is an example of one of Symbian’s reference designs. Symbian device reference designs are optimized for small, portable handheld computing devices or mobile phones with wireless access to voice and data services. Read more about Symbian’s DFRDs

All Symbian based devices are:

• feature-rich
• easy-to-use
• robust and fully tested
• able to run 3rd party software
• integrate easily with your PC and network

Symbian Smartphones and Communicators have the ability to link seamlessly with a PC, with printers, and with the Internet. They send and receive files, synchronize seamlessly with other Wireless Information Devices, and they are extremely practical, fitting neatly into a pocket. Both Smartphones and Communicators are fully integrated mobile computing devices and mobile phones in one.

Quartz is one of Symbian’s Communicator reference designs. A Communicator is an information centric device with voice capability. Either a bluetooth wireless headset or an earpiece attached with a wire to the device is used when making or receiving a call.

Symbian also has several Smartphone reference designs, which look similar to today’s mobile phones, but have advanced mobile computing functionality incorporated into the device.
