Series 30+

Nokia Series 30+ (abbreviated as either Series 30+ or S30+) is a software platform and application user interface from MediaTek, licensed by Microsoft Mobile for its Nokia-branded mobile devices.^[1] It is not related to Nokia's own but older S30 or S40 platforms, and unlike S40, S30 and S30+ do not support J2ME applications,^[2] though Series 30+ is capable of running built-in applications such as the Opera Mini browser, Bing Search, MSN Weather and Skype's GroupMe chat.
