It’s been a while since the Sports tracker appeared in the Nokia Beta Labs, where it was a huge success. Such was the popularity of this app that it won the Best Mobile Internet Service Award in last year’s GSMA Global Mobile Awards. No wonder the app not only graduated from Nokia Beta Labs, Jussi Kaasinen and Ykä Huhtala, the developers of the app now head the Sports Tracking Technologies (STT), a spin-off company working on the award winning service.

Coming to Sports Tracker, it’s an amazing logger app for fitness aficionados which not only logs your fitness routine but also helps you evaluate and share  (presently not working but should be working in a matter of time) your fitness regime with the rest of the world. With tight integration with GPS module onboard our 5800s, this app converts your 5800 to an effective pedometer and with interactive maps, this is one killer combo, you don’t wanna miss.
