The S40 operating system is adopted in the basic and intermediate devices of the brand. In its latest iteration, offers easy access to social networks like Orkut, Facebook and Twitter. The system also features the Nokia Browser, browser that compresses pages to use less data - similar to what Opera offers many years.
"We are proud to be a reference when people look for the best phone for them, is a product of entry or a complete smartphone. Much of this success is due to the volume of S40 devices sold here, with the best value for money "- Almir Luiz Narciso, president of Nokia.
Some people turn up your nose in the betting for Nokia S40. After attending the Nokia World and talk to the VP of mobile phones must say that my bias has decreased.
