March 20, 2008 And the winner of the S60 quiz is... Posted by Saara at 02:30 PM | Categories: Quiz

Well, first of all thanks for participating to the first quiz on S60 Blogs! I'm glad about the amount of replies. The right answers are:

D - 6 devices were launched in MWC 2008 in Barcelona: Nokia N96, Nokia N78, Nokia 6210 Navigator, Nokia 6220 Classic, LG-KT610 and Samsung SGH-G810.

B - 4 of the devices (Nokia's) are S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2.

B - The difference between S60 Editions and Feature Packs is that Editions contain major improvements and architectural changes, while Feature Packs are used to introduce new features on top of this main edition architecture.

C - In S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2, you can start Java applications directly after the installation process.

D - Connectivity UI in S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 allows all the three first choices: access point grouping, access point priorization inside group and automatic utilization of access points.

A - Timed profile in S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 means that a selected profile can be activated for a defined time period.

From the total of 122 answers, 71 were right. The drawing of the winner was done in a very old fashioned way - from my hat! If this quiz will become a tradition, I'll try to figure out a more sophisticated way to do this if I'll do this again. Below's proof of my prize drawing process:

And the winner is ... Adel! Congrats! I will contact you by email soon. Thanks again for all who participated.
