LONDON, United Kingdom – Where you are matters. A lot. It naturally matters to you. It also matters to the people you care about the most – your family and close friends. Based on this simple observation, we created Nokia Pulse to address some of the most commonly asked questions on mobile phones: “where are you?”, “how do I get there?”, “where should we meet?”
Nokia Pulse helps you answer these questions with one tap by adding where you are to every conversation. From pickups and drop-offs to meet-ups, Pulse is as instant, private, and simple as sending a text, but far more useful and engaging. Oh, and did I mention fun!
Nokia Pulse is a mobile application that enables you to check in with the people you care about most – your family and close friends. You can also experience Nokia Pulse on the web and mobile web as a part of maps.nokia.com
So, how does it work exactly? Imagine, you have just arrived at the airport. What do you typically do? Call/SMS someone close, say from your family to coordinate a pickup. Several SMS/calls are exchanged before the pickup happens successfully. With Nokia Pulse, all you need to do is type “Here!”or simply check-in and an instant notification of your update is sent to everyone in your family group tagged with your current location. You receive a response, “On my way” with a location tagged that shows you exactly where you ride is on the map. In addition, Nokia Pulse allows you to discover and post nearby places with recommendations, ratings, directions and even direct access to a phone number for a quick phone call. So while you wait, you can enjoy your favorite coffee at a nearby Café and inform your ride where you are with just one tap.
Have as many such groups as you like. Family, Friends, Soccer Club, Neighborhood Watch, High School PTA Club. With Nokia Pulse you can have the right conversations with the right people, all enhanced with location and always private.
