Know thy world, coz they know you!


The much talked about Nokia N97 brings with it an even more talked about concept: the concept of 'social location', known as 'So-Lo' in popular terms.

With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 phone makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their 'status' and share their 'social location' as well as related pictures or videos.

According to Nokia, the N97 'social location' feature makes it possible for a user to let their friends know exactly where they are simply by auto-updating social networks with real time geographical info.

Check this amazing video out and you'd know how Nokia has successfully reduced the line between real and virtual world. And am sure you'd want to be there...



Nokia also rolled out Nokia Maps 3.0 in beta well as Ovi's online mapping feature. The free service lets you plan trips on your PC and sync them with your mobile phone. The Nokia 3.0 upgrades include high-resolution aerial images, 3D landmarks for 216 cities, terrain maps, and route overview when planning routes and also on Nokia’s Drive turn-by-turn directional system. Users will also have access to real-time traffic information in select countries with included safety camera alerts. Taking a hint from events companies like 'Eventful', Nokia will also release a WCities real-time events guide to keep you up-to-date regarding events in your immediate location.

So am sure they know you, and where you are by now! With an N97, now its your turn..

  9. QWERTY keypad in mobile might not be comfortable for an user like me. Coz my hands are trained to recognize the usual A-B-C keypad when it comes to mobile phones. This feature is not something that i am looking forward to, though i realize it would make it seem more like a computer.

  50. I agree to wat Jonas Geust, Vice President, heading Nokia Nseries, had this to say about it:

    “From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence”

    ReplyDelete
  51. Well Nicole, I can't agree less...and the best part is how the concept of mobile phones has totally changed to 'mobile computers'...!!!
