Nokia Series 40 Flash Lite–enabled devices

The Nokia 6125, 6131, 6136, and 6233 (see Figure 1) all are consumer-level devices that cater to a different consumer audience than the typical users of Series 60 smartphone devices.

The Series 40 Platform is aimed at users who desire a handset that has a smaller footprint but yet retains much of its voice, data, as well as multimedia capabilities found in higher end Nokia model handsets. For all intensive purposes, these are "mass market" type phones.

Note: For more technical information and the hardware specification on these devices, visit the Series 40 Platform page on Forum Nokia.

In terms of the Flash Lite player itself, the differences between devices (except the 6233 due its apparent lack of a secondary screen) are not drastically different from one another. In fact, the Flash Lite player provides a consistent runtime across this series of devices when it comes to wallpapers and screen savers, as well as browser and standalone applications.

In the first set of articles, I'll focus solely on the platform's multimedia capabilities. This means utilizing Flash Lite 1.1 to create content for wallpapers, screen savers, and sub-LCD modes.

By leveraging Flash on these devices, it is extremely easy to quickly generate multimedia content such as wallpapers, screen savers, and sub-LCD content. In the upcoming tutorials, I'll actually walk you through the content creation process for each of these specific content types.

Also as you'll see in subsequent articles, moving content such as screen savers and wallpapers between devices is, for the most part, a relatively easy and straightforward process due to the portability that the Flash Lite player provides.

However, before you start creating content for this platform, I must first review some of the specific capabilities and limitations found on this platform.
