Symbian Galaxy: Mobile Phone Forum (vBulletin).

www.SymbianGalaxy.org

Symbian is the largest mobile phone OS (Operating System) in the world. This forum was created 3 years ago as a hobby and for symbian mobile phones users and a place where they can download freeware / shareware applications and games.

Created mainly as a discussion forum, downloads soon become the core of the forum driving more users to the site, therefore we expanded on the download area and now offer non-mobile downloads also.

Other Information:

Members were pruned recently last year to ensure that the current member count reflects the active member count.
Adsense is not allowed on download sites so therefore have never used it. I've never been banned or suspended.
On most other forums, the who’s online activity is set to refresh every 120 seconds or 60 seconds. But because of the size of this forum, it’s set to 30 seconds only.
Google Indexed Pages : Approx 35,000 and growing
