Google Maps for Sony Ericsson W850i

My Sony Ericsson W850i phone is getting older by the minute. And now that I am so in love with traveling and going to different places, somehow I thought of buying a new GPS device, or a GPS-enabled phone, whichever is cheaper.

So I went Googling around and found out that there is no need to buy a separate device for GPS. My phone CAN be GPS device! Talk about the power of technology, specifically Java.

Google Maps for Mobile is free and available to all users who have colored Blackberry devices and some Java-enabled phones. I tried this on my W850i and it is working! My golly!

Take note that standard charges for Internet browsing apply since the app connects to Internet. Small price to pay for a handy GPS when you are lost in the middle of nowhere.

Okay, enough chit-chat. Here’s the download link:

I saw this first hand, I had the chance to try it after Rai installed in on her phone [I tried it before she did =)]. Works flawlessly, and it loads quickly too. This is great if you are not familiar with the place where you’re at. At least you have an idea what town is next to your current location. I can’t wait to get this one on my phone

Thanks for letting me try the app!

I have tried this on my SE w810i and works like a charm. Internet browsing using your cellphone is free in Philippines, is it?
