The S60 emulator enables you to view and test applications on your PC before installing them to a real device. It provides a graphical user interface of a real phone with the needed phone functionality to test your application. The emulator mimics the operation of an application on a real S60 device so accurately that application development can be done even before the required hardware, that is, an S60 device, is available.
