Actually S60 is an abbreviation of Series 60, a user interface layer developed by Nokia for the Symbian operating system.
Currently Nokia are using versions 2 and 3 of the S60 interface - which are not directly compatible.
Although developed by Nokia it has also been licenced to other handset manufacturers including Samsung and Panasonic.
Sony Ericsson also use the Symbian O/S for their high end phones but prefer to use the UIQ interface, initially developed by Symbian.
