INTRODUCTION TO THE USER INTERFACE

This chapter gives a short overview of the user interface type of Series 40 phones.
Main focus is on the WAP services element (WAP browser) of the phone. The WAP
browser user interface is designed to comply with the user interaction handling,
known from other applications in the phone.
The user interface is a combination of specific user interface hardware like keys and
display, user interaction conventions, which include input and output functions and
their relationships, and audio-visual appearance, that is used in user interaction
conventions. This chapter concentrates on the hardware element of the Series 40
user interface.
