Nokia Messaging for Social Networks trial closes

Nokia Beta Labs add-on shot at an integrated 'social' experience has now been closed, pending the arrival on the High Street of a full commercial implementation of the ideas and feedback in both Contacts and Ovi Maps in Nokia's Symbian^3 smartphones. Note with the discontinuation of the Beta program you will no longer have access to the Nokia Messaging for Social Networks service.

Read on in the full article.

It was a rubbish app anyway and there are far better social apps, including even Facebook's own app. No wonder they pulled it on the E72.

So I take it I can assume that the integration into Contacts / Maps won't include the 3.x devices? That's the normal mode of operation for Nokia. Concentrate on touch, stuff the E series.

heh. Probably. But when you have Gravity, who needs a slower and inferior equivalent from Nokia? The best 8 quid you'll ever spend.

Yeah. I was not impressed with it. It caused stability issues with my phone. I took it off in less than a week. I have other apps that work much better. Perhaps I will give the gold release a try when it becomes available.
