Do you know you can access your S60 phone using a web browser?

Do you know you can access your S60 phone using a web browser?
Yes, it is true …
This is possible using a modified version of the Apache Web Server …
The port was created by the Nokia team, and you can get it in the Nokia Open Source portal
And there is a free service too, that you can use to enable the access to your phone from anywhere in the Internet, to enable it you just need to ask for a password by e-mail …
After you have your Racoon running (this is the name of the apache for S60), you can install Python for S60 and use mod_python to create dynamic content and make your phone content available to all internet users …
Think about a blog in your cell phone, with all your latest photos available …
or your contacts and schedule available to you from any web browser directly from your phone …
This means no more need for synchronization for your desktop apps, you can edit it using your browser …

Ok, I know that it is too geeky and that data plans are too expensive for this kind of thing …
but you can enable it only when you have an Wi-Fi connection available too …
Or use only your local Wi-Fi network for it if you do not want it available to all the world …

Think about the possibilities

I have already asked my user and password, and have already tried it in my local Wi-Fi

There are no contacts or schedule “gateways” written yet, but I loved the idea
for now I still using Mobical for it, and the SyncML from my phone since I do not have an Outlook license … (I Sync my contacts from Thunderbird to Mobical too )
