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 [...]
Our friend Vaibhav Sharma of TheSymbianBlog recently attended a Q&A session with the Ovi Maps folks, where he learned all sorts of cool things about Ovi Maps and where they’d like to take the service in the near future. He also got a tip about an upcoming service, dubbed ‘Ovi Journeys’. Reportedly, Ovi Journeys is [...]
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.

In addition to the trio of firmware updates that were released last week, Nokia has kicked off this week with a pair of application updates. Both SportsTracker and Mail for Exchange were recently updated, with a few cool new features in both applications. SportsTracker was updated to v2.05, with added support for touchscreen phones like [...]
On Valentine’s Day, one month ago, the Nseries Innovations Newsdesk posted a competition to win an N79 Active, which is the Polar bluetooth heartrate monitor equipped version of the Nokia N79 that Ricky reviewed earlier. What you had to do was use SportsTracker to track a heart-shaped exercise, then upload it to the SportsTracker online [...]
Nokia was kind enough to send me an N79 Active to check out recently. In case you missed it, this version of the Nokia N79 comes packaged with a Bluetooth heart rate monitor belt from Polar, as well as a high-quality pair of headphones, an armband, and a new, custom version of Nokia’s SportsTracker application [...]
