A note from Nokia reps this week informs us that the Nokia viNe application will be rolled out of Beta soon... possibly even this week. viNe is a web service that enables users of the application to share their journeys, along with media collected along the way. As a long-time Sports Tracker user, N95 enthusiasts, and evangelist of all things mobile and geospatial, I was provided with a pre-release version of viNe - details and a complete "How To" install and use the application are provided... enjoy! Enter Nokia viNe 101
It was back in June 2008 that the E71 was officially released to the public - the selling points for the E71 were a sleek, stylish do-it-all device that came with Mail for Exchange mobile email client - pre-loaded with the Nokia E71. Actually, the device boasted much much more than these attributes as you'll see below in my findings after having the pleasure of making the E71 my main device for 3 weeks... enjoy the recap, the images and the videos!
Zurfer - location-enable your Flickr Photos, take them with you, share them

Don't just surf the web and your photos, Zurf it! Zurfer is a cool location-sensitive
social networking application that enables users to take the functionality of
Flickr with them on their mobile. Developed by Yahoo! Research Labs, the application
has been tested on on the following Nokia Series 60 v2 and v3 phones: N73, N95,
N80, 6682 and N70.
What Does it Do?
Zurfer enables you to see you r flickr photos or show them to your friends, see
what's around you (based on your Zonetag location) and see what your friends and
contacts are doing. Access your entire photo collection from your flickr account
using this clever application and simple UI.
What About the Location Part?
Users of Zurfer are requested to enter their ZoneTag... this is a location-sensitive
identifier that tells Zurfer where you are (approximately). When you change your
location simply update your zonetag. The very cool part of the application is
that you can also view flickr photos and streams captured by other people that
are near your current location... sweet!
What You Need
A free ZoneTag account. You must be registered with ZoneTag before you can use
Zurfer. If you don't have a ZoneTag account, we'll create one for you when you
signup for Zurfer.
A free Flickr account. Zurfer uses photos from Flickr, so you'll need a Flickr
account. If you don't have one, create a Flickr account first.
A beefy smart phone. We have tested Zurfer on the following Nokia Series 60 v2
and v3 phones: N73, N95, N80, 6682 and N70. It should work on most Nokia Series
60 v2 and v3 phones, but your mileage may vary. It also runs on the Motorola RAZR
V3x. It may work on other phone models; try at your own risk and let us know how
it goes!
A data plan from your carrier - unlimited data would be nice!
Zurfer is available from http://zurfer.research.yahoo.com - once you have an account you can view your Zurfer Channel on your mobile or
on a PC client as well.

I’ve been a long-time fan and user of Nokia Sports Tracker. In fact, I’ve considered it to be one of the best location-aware mobile apps anywhere… hands-down! Now it's even more fun, more useful, and easier to share with others...
