Introduction to Themes
Themes on Nokia's Series 40 and Series 60 devices represent the next wave in device personalization. With Themes a user is able to change not just individual elements of a device’s look or alert sounds but an increasingly sophisticated set of UI elements and alerts.
For content developers who are currently creating ring tones, wallpaper, or screen saver graphics, Themes help extend their business with a unified offering that allows individual customization elements to be bundled into a single downloadable package. Themes build directly on existing skill and expertise in graphic design and audio composition. Similarly, the sales and marketing processes for Themes are the same as for existing content, allowing developers to easily leverage their existing capabilities.
The market for personalization ring tones and graphics therefore represents a significant opportunity for developers and content distributors to generate revenue. The sophistication of Nokia’s Theme support provides the best possible medium to embrace this market. Nokia Themes provide users with a one-stop shop for enhancing the look and sound of their entire UI. Themes are therefore a premium product that will enable premium pricing beyond that which can be achieved with individual customization content elements.
