Coinciding with Nokia World, we’ve launched some cool new features for S60.com. I thought I’d share some of the highlights with you…

First off, the new Flash intro on the main page. You gotta check this out, it’s fantastic. A bunch of really funny Flash animations highlighting some S60 applications. After each clip, the user gets a short description of the app with links to download a free trial, view compatible phones, view related applications, send to a friend, and buy.

Next up are some short stories where S60 has been used in "real life"

After that we have the Application Wishlist, here’s how it works, all you developers might be interested in this – Let’s say you, the consumer, wants your S60 device to do something particular. You’ve surfed around on different application sites but didn’t find what you were looking for. Well then add it to S60.com’s wishlist! Maybe there is the perfect app already out there, other users suggest an application that fits your idea. Or if you have a completely original idea, developers can search wishlists for new ideas of software to write. I think it’s a brilliant idea and will be a huge success.

The amount of S60 devices on the market is getting out of control, so we’ve added some filtering options to help consumers sort through them all. Filter by edition (1st, 2nd, 3rd), region, and manufacturer …

Last feature is fantastic! I love it! I’m going to start submitting ideas, feature requests, and bugs by the boat load! This is like My Dream App but on steroids! I don’t know a new flash intro page is a feature … but OK whatever you guys like. The idea submission trumps the rest in terms of creativity I can’t stress this enough. I’ll try it out later and give you my impressions.
