Nokia’s Sports Tracker application and service never quite made the jump from non-touchscreen to touchscreen phones, which is a shame. Yes, there was an official client for touchscreen smartphones like the Nokia N97 and N97 Mini, but it was a complete hassle to track down, and not readily available, even from the Sports Tracker website [...]
Earlier this week, I noticed that Nokia has been neglecting the SportsTracker service over the past several months. You can read the full post here, but basically, Nokia is not making the touch version readily available, silently discontinuing the Facebook app, and making it a hassle to post workouts to Twitter and other social networks.

Several years ago, one of the first services that Nokia ever launched was called SportsTracker. The service has progressed steadily through the years, and is a rock-solid way to track workouts, including a step counter, GPS tracking, and a host of other features, even including a heart rate monitor feature on the N79 Active!

The Bluetooth WearLink belt is an elastic band with a small heart rate monitor attached. This little gadget communicates with your phone via a [...]
Back when I was in Lebanon and tried Sports Tracker, I saw a big blue’ish screen behind my movement tracking and assumed that there should be maps there, that I couldn’t see because I was offline or because there were obviously no maps of Lebanon. When I came to France, I tried Sports Tracker again [...]
So you’re in the gym looking über cool with music playing through your headphones, and suddenly a wire gets caught up somewhere on the treadmill’s armrest and your head is pulled back, you trip and fall on the floor, the phone jumps out of your pocket and lands in the lap of the fat woman [...]
The Nseries Sports Tracker widget or as Nokia officially likes to call it “Maps + Photography” widget has been recently updated to bring Video support.
