Flickr just released Mobile Nearby for “smartphones” ie the iphone and that other one. Just go to m.flickr.com and there should be a new link that figures out where you are and, well, shows you nearby photos.
Two quick things;
1) I’m still waiting for broadband to be connect here, so I’m doing everything via the iphone. Of course version 3.0 came out while we were up in the sky that I can’t d/l ’cause I have no internets. And I can’t tether my laptop to the iPhone to d/l it because I don’t have tethering.
Also can’t copy and paste links, you’ll have to find the code.flickr.com/blog post yourself.
2) Interestingly Google map tile :)

Google maps is an incredible app. I am disappointed it is currently only available for the iphone.
I would also recommend AroundMe for Android by Amélie Multimedia:

It has been briefly reviewed by the Flickr staff on their blog (since it makes use of the Flickr API):

This app allows you to discover amazing places nearby you or all around the world via Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia and more.
Designed for Google Android-powered devices, it is aimed at travelers and photo-enthusiasts alike.
Among other things, AroundMe displays the most interesting Flickr, Panoramio and YouTube photos and videos of places nearby your current location (or in any other locations you point your finger to!), giving you the walking or driving directions to reach each place.
AroundMe can be downloaded for free from the Android Market, in the Applications > Travel category.
