Use your Nokia phone as a flashlight with PhoneTorch for SymbianOS 9.4 5th Edition

Ever wondered to what level convergance can actually reach. First our phones doubled as a MP3 player, then they bundled as a mass storage device., then as a Camera . Few of our phones could also double as a Flash torch light.

Anyway, Harald Meyer has come to the rescue withPhoneTorch for S60 5th Edition, in full Symbian Signed form. Continue reading “Use your Nokia phone as a flashlight with PhoneTorch for SymbianOS 9.4 5th Edition”
