I have implemented small python script that can be used from S60 Symbian phones to control XBMC. Currently only WiFi enabled phones are supported.

Nothing fancy, just basic functionality, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgKghjDoFlk

As I haven't figured out how to create signed sis package that can be installed easily, so you have use following installation procedure:

• Install Python 2.0.0 for S60
  
• Download S60-xbmc-remote script from http://shrt.st/jjm and put it to your phone E:\python directory (memory card)
  
• Run Python for S60 application
  
• Choose Options->Run Script
  
• Find s60-xbmc-remote.py and run it
  
• Set your XBMC web interface host: port from options menu. Due to limitation of Symbian, you must use IP address (XBMC must have HTTP enabled - Settings->Network->Services->Allow control of XBMC via HTTP)
  
• Use phones navigation, center (OK), back and * keys to control XBMC
  

Known issues:

• You must be connected to your WLAN AP before starting Python and WLAN AP must appear in WLAN connection lists, otherwise you will get
  URLError: <urlopen error (13, 'Permission denied')>
  
• XBMC host is not saved, so you must set it every time you start s60-xbmc-remote
  

Has been tested only on Nokia E51, but should work on all phones where PythonS60 2.0.0 is available.

It did work. But kinda useless

I just posted a new app to remotely control XBMC with symbian S60 phones.
it is also python based but has some improvements over this one.

it was based on jannoks but changed 100% so it uses 90% less CPU.
also some other improvements.

check it out!
