Nokia features "Zook" mobile search

Zook is a new idea in mobile search that combines the results of
broader web page search with social-networking functions and the
knowledge of the location of your S60 device to provide you with
optimised search and interaction. It offers search on demand as well
as search powered alerts, where based on your search, you can also
choose to receive automatic alerts pushed to your phone.

Since it is location-aware, you can not only search for a given movie,
but also know the closest movie theater that is playing that movie. If
your phone has a built-in GPS, then Zook can use the precise location
specified by your GPS hardware; and if you do not have GPS, Zook uses
your cell ID to derive an approximation of your location for searching
purposes. You can of course, do location-independent searching, such
as searching for music, videos, and other content.
