Check in to Foursquare on your Symbian S60 device

I recently presented a walk through of Barriosquare on the Nokia N900. Barriosquare is a Foursquare application for the Maemo 5 platform and a bit surprisingly there is still no Symbian S60 version available. However, Ricky Cadden posted a great tutorial on how to check-in with Foursquare using Waze on your S60 device. I haven’t yet tried out Waze, but see Ricky has some thoughts on Waze too.

I don’t know if any kind of official Foursquare application is being worked on for S60, but this looks like a nice solution to assist you with checking in on your device. I plan to soon load it on the Nokia N97 mini. Has anyone here tried out Waze or this Foursquare implementation yet?

Thanks for the link, Matt! You should definitely give Waze a run – it’s actually better on Symbian than it is on my HTC Eris, which is nice to see. The voice nav needs a bit of work, but the pacman-type experience makes it fun and the traffic notifications are extremely useful.

They’ve also got some cool updates coming soon, as well, that’ll make it even better.

Ricky: you’ve have noticed I commented on you SG article on waze and I frequently read way too many Symbian blogs.

As I said there, its not worth the bother on the N97. The application is too half-baked for the reasons I previously identified to even bother with.
