A movie to go, please

Most modern-day smartphones are also rather capable video players. Combined with a stereo headset, a portable movie player is a good alternative to a Pratchett paperback during a commute or an otherwise nonstimulant occasion, such as a distant cousin's wedding or an all-hands meeting with Tommy the Powerpoint Wizard. While the experience does fall slightly short of visiting a THX theater near you, a recent device such as the N95 can provide passable audiovisual pastime when really needed.

How do I know if my <insert vendor here> handset is an S60 one?

Just in case you are not intimately familiar with the OS and middleware foundation of your mobile, have a look at

http://www.s60.com/life/s60phones/browseDevices.do

for a listing of S60 based products from different manufacturers. For each phone, the Technical specifications section also tells you the version of the S60 platform (edition and feature pack) the device is running.
