Nokia Beta Labs this morning launched a new application for Nokia S40 and S60 devices, called Nokia Nearby – a hyper-local search application which you can use to look for information about places and listings near you and also share this information with any of your contacts. While this app works on both Series 40 and S60 devices, it is targeted primarily towards emerging markets with a high emphasis on Series40 devices, including those that don’t have Nokia Maps or GPS on them.
The app allows you to discover places & listings like restaurants, movie theaters, and malls and get details about the places that interest you and contact them from within the app.
- Discover & access info on places & listings around your location
- Search for location specific information within your vicinity
- Share place information with friends via SMS
- Send the entire app to friends via Bluetooth
- Call the listing from within the app
In this beta pilot, Nokia Beta Labs’ goal is to understand the usability of this service. They would like to understand the usefulness of the service as well as get your thoughts on what features you think could be a part of such a service in the future, so feel free to give them any feedback/ideas you might have, so head over to Nokia Labs and download the link now.
