Google Buzz just extended support to Nokia Symbian S60 smartphones, Blackberrys and Windows Mobile Phones. The move likely to make a lot of people happy – particularly those gadget fans without an iPhone or smartphone running Android version 2+.
Google Buzz offers users the chance to see what their friends are up to and where, thanks to the integration of location based services with the handset’s navigation capabilities.
Google Buzz first launched as the search giant attempted to create a social networking platform as part of it’s Gmail service, just as Facebook made moves to extend it’s social networking services into email. At that time, only people with O2 , Vodafone or Orange iPhone deals (at the time the only providers) and phones running Android 2.0 and above could run GBuzz.
Now though, Google has revealed that a mobile version of the service is supported on Nokia Symbian S60, Windows Mobile handsets and the Blackberry browser. No confirmation on whether or not Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones running Symbian can run the site however.
