Nokia Beta Labs unveiled the new instant messaging client called Nokia Chat  for S60 V3 phones that is not just like any other instant messaging client, it utilizes the built-in GPS receivers and allows an easier choice for consumers to share their location with specific friends or broadcast it to the whole group.

The idea is quiet innovative, though this is already supported by Nokia Maps where the location can be SMSed to anyone having a phone equipped with Nokia Maps.

Though this may seem to be it’s primary function, to share locations, It failed to locate myself during a trial chat with Abul from Adonisdemon.com, I tried to see the satellite status from GPS Data application and it located the exact position, but at the same time, the Nokia chat froze at “Getting Position”, A Huge downside for me, when it comes to instant messaging it does it’s job like any other instant messenger.

It Vibrates when you get an instant message, instead of producing noisy sounds, something that I really like, and it can be accessed directly from contacts application, Also, all the sinning-up is done from the application.

More Info and download links available at Beta Labs website.

Nokia Beta Labs just announced the brand new A-GPS beta application for the N810 that is is supposed to dramatically decrease the GPS lock time.

And as usual, because the project was just announced, the link is totally screwed up :P. so you might have to keep an eye on this URL as it’ll be updated in hours with the download link, and possibly some screenshots.

But it’s a good thing to see Nokia Beta Labs starting to develop applications for the Internet Tables, As far as I know this is the first Tablet-related project announced by the Beta Labs, and it looks like it’s a good start.

That’s all I’ve got now since as I said before the link is not working as the app was just announced, but I shall update this post with more details and screenshots once the website is up.

Updated: It seems that the link is now working, the application is only 4 KBs and requires an Internet Tablet with OS2008 Installed.

Nokia surprised us one year ago with the Nokia N95 , it was really really and still the best phone ever , even after the arrival of Nokia N82 , Xenon Flash doesn’t work for me actually , it’s not that much of an update , and i rarely take pictures in the dark .

Nokia must really start upgrading their specs a little bit , for instance , Samsung already released a 10 Mega Pixel Camera Phone in South Korea , and Nokia is still stuck to the 5 Mega Pixel Camera

Also , Nokia’s screen resolutions are not soo good actually , if you compare the screen of the iPhone to the N95 in terms of Resolution not size , you’ll see that there’ no comparison AT ALL , iPhone’s Screen Pixels are not noticeable in contrary to the N95 .

Touch Screen wasn’t integrated in Nokia Phones , except Internet Tablets and Nokia 7710 , so the Next hit must have a multi-touch screen in order to compete with the upcoming models of the iPhone .

For me , Nokia’s next hit must have “

• AT LEAST 7 Mega Pixel Camera
• Multi-Touch Screen with higher screen resolution
• Better GPS Ship , and this time placed near the phone antenna , not under the keypad which decreases GPS signal
• a QWERTY Keyboard and somehow not making the phone gigantic
• Multi SIM Card support , meaning that you can run two SIM Cards of 2 different Nos at the same time
• Internal Memory > 8 GB

That’s a super phone
