Best Free Application: Strobe v1.00
There is a handful of Symbian fifth-edition devices in market today, and almost every device is equipped with a flash for the onboard camera, but most of these devices lack an out-of-box application for the torch light. This opens the flood gates for third-party developers, and Offscreen Technologies have made the best use of this with their free application: Strobe Touch.
Strobe is actually a multipurpose application whose primary feature is its stroboscopic lamp. This is basically a flashing light which can be effectively used as an SOS signal.
The application has a very easy-to-use interface which allows the user to adjust the flashing frequency with a movable lever on the home screen. The flashing frequency increases from bottom to the top and at the uppermost position, it functions as a torch.
This free application is available exclusively for Nokia devices at our forum:
