An FM radio is on board, so that you can tune in to your favorite station, as well. Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) offers worldwide connectivity, and the integrated LED flashlight ensures you don’t get lost in the dark. Users can manage music with an FM Radio, an enhanced MP3 player, and Nokia Music Store and Nokia Music PC Client. Additional features include a link to YouTube, access to Nokia Maps 1.2 to navigate with free mapping, routing and local search, support of A-GPS and the Nokia WidSets service.

The Nokia 7510 Supernova is planned to be available in Q4 2008, with pricing set at EUR180 (US$282) before taxes and subsidies. This cell phone will ship in your choice of storm blue, emerald green, espresso brown, and red.

Plazes, a privately-owned company of 13 employees founded in 2006, makes a “context-aware social activity service that people can use to plan, record and share their social activities: why they are at a given location at a given time, whether in the past, present of future,” Nokia said in a statement.
Plazes lets “friends” update each other about what they are doing when and where, resulting in a Twitter-like activity stream but with integrated geo-tagging. Users can then subscribe to any of their friends’ activity streams or to groups of friends, as well as to specific locations known as “Plazes”. Updates can be done either on Plazes.com or by mobile phone (via text messaging) or using a number of third-party applications that utilize the Plazes’ publicly available API.

The Plazes service is similar to that of US-based Twitter, which also encourages users to share updates on their location with friends, family and business contacts. Nokia said that the purchase, for an undisclosed sum, is expected to be finalised in the third quarter of this year. Plazes will become part of Nokia’s services and software unit.
Moving forward, it’s clear that mobile, combined with location, represent the next social networking frontier. As evidence, Google’s Android developer contest is littered with location-based social applications, and the official iPhone SDK has already given birth to a number of location-aware social networking apps. What’s not clear yet, however, is whether the eventual winners will be established social networking services such as Facebook or Twitter that add location-based functionality or newer or specialized entrants who build in location and mobile from the get-go.
