Zurfer is a location-based photo browser for your shiny phone. Zurfer shows you photos taken around you, and exposes interesting local highlights. It gives you a way to follow your Flickr friends, follow comments on your Flickr photostream, and access your photos wherever you are.
Zurfer should work on most Nokia Series 60 v2 and v3 phones, but your mileage may vary. It also runs on the Motorola RAZR V3x. It may work on other phone models; try at your own risk and let us know how it goes!

Yahoo's Zurfer joins Flickr, mobile phones, CNET News Blog, Stephen Shankland
"The software, which requires a "beefy smart phone," shows photos taken recently in a mobile phone user's vicinity, an example of a so-called location-aware service... Zurfer is one application based on the nascent "geotagging" concept in which digital photos are labeled with location information such as latitude and longitude."
