A recent contest held to showcase the capabilities of S60, the Symbian Smartphone OS owned mostly by Nokia, recently came to close. Submissions came in the form of YouTube videos and the winners have been announced. That gives us an awesome opportunity to showcase to you some of the things that S60 can help you do:

Here’s a video showing Google Maps integration on S60, illustrating how to find a pizza shop with an amusing (but quickly annoying) old-style Charlie Chaplin video:

Here’s an example of Joikuspot running on a Nokia N95. It will allow you to connect to the internet on your desktop computer using the connection from your mobile phone:

Are you a nature person, outdoors person or hiker? Are you a dog lover who goes on frequent walks with your pup? Or, maybe you are abandoned on an island but have an S60 based phone and want to know more about the landmarks and geography around you. This video/application is for you:

One winner posted a helpful, 5-minute video with various S60 tips and tricks. Definitely worth a watch if you’ve got an S60 based device:

We’ve left out another Tips video winner which was painfully boring and monotone. The Yoyap! video posted by Rita was also too annoying to include. We wouldn’t wish a forced viewing of these upon our worst enemies, much less our readers.

So, for the original posting with all the winners listed visit the S60 Blog. We originally found this on the Official Google Mobile Blog who were apparently excited that a winner featured Google Maps for Mobile. Seems kind of like an NBA player being excited that their hometown newspaper wrote an article about them, does it not?

Oh, and congrats to all the winners… even those we refused to post here.
