Symbian Plazer

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

I was looking out for the symbian plazer quite a while, but finally I’m using it since a week now. It’s a lot more fun to use plazes with your mobile. You can hook on plazes that are already there or create new plazes, upload pictures or search for free wifi spots around you. It [...]
