(InfoWorld) - Nokia will give away mapping software to its customers as well as users of Window Mobile devices. Phones based on Linux and older Nokia and MicrosoftÂ devices will be supported in the future, the Finnish mobile phone maker said Thursday. Mobile users can download the Smart2go maps that cover 150 countries and include 15 million points of interest, such as restaurants and accommodation. Users can store the map data on a memory card in the handset. The data can be downloaded over the air or via a connection to a PC. Users of phones with GPS (global positioning service) or with an external GPS module can subscribe to a turn-by-turn navigation service. Subscriptions come in a variety of packages so customers can pay for a week's worth of navigation services for use while on holiday. Prices vary based on the user's location but as an example, a one-week subscription for navigation services in Germany costs â¬6.49 ($8.43), one month is â¬7.99 and one year is â¬59.99. Nokia is trying to compete with the personal navigation device market but hopes to gain an edge in offering a different pricing model. While standalone navigation device makers typically charge users for the hardware and the maps up front, Nokia is giving the maps away and charging for the navigation services as users need it. In January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas,Â Nokia announcedÂ that it would start giving away maps to Nokia customers and offering a paid navigation service. Thursday's announcement includes compatibility with non-Nokia devices, details the pricing and sets the date -- Saturday -- when the free maps will become available. Nokia has begun focusing heavily on the location market. The Smart2go application comes from Gate5, the mapping and routing company thatÂ Nokia boughtÂ last year. In addition, Nokia last yearÂ acquired the exclusive rightsÂ to license and sublicense 700 GPS patents owned by Trimble Navigation. At the time, Nokia said that essentially every company offering a mobile navigation service would have to license the patents. Nokia introduced another free offering on Thursday, this one only for certain Nokia phones. Users of 16 Nokia devices, which include the N95, N93, N71, N62 and N60, can download a free application that lets them search for content on their handsets. Users can search for information in calendar entries, SMS messages and multimedia files. Â

(InfoWorld) - Nokia has introduced several phones and also announced a music recommendation service that hints at the potential for a full-blown music store from the company. The N75, announced Tuesday, is Nokia's smallest multimedia phone and is targeted at the U.S. market. The new phone includes a camera, a music player and Internet access. Nokia has been under pressure to release new, attractive devices in the U.S. since it announced in June that it will stop making CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) phones, which are widely used in the U.S. "We don't rest until we make it here in the U.S.," said Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president and general manager of multimedia for Nokia, during an event in New York that was Webcast. "The N75 will be my tool to get that going." Nokia also introduced the N95, a phone that includes a 5-megapixel camera, GPS (Global Positioning System) capability with mapping applications and 3D graphics. The N95 will operate on broadband WCDMA (wideband CDMA) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) networks in Europe and Asia. It will also include Wi-Fi. The phone is based on Nokia's S60 software and the Symbian operating system and comes with Nokia's Web browser. Users can insert microSD cards for extra storage on the device and connect via mini USB (Universal Serial Bus) for data transfer. The N95 is expected to become available in the first quarter of 2007 for â¬550 ($703). The N75 will cost between $350 and $390 and should be available by the holiday buying season. Along with the phones, Nokia announced a music service that will become available worldwide by year-end. Registered users of the service can browse a Web site to read music recommendations. Nokia has lined up 40 recommenders who are independent music enthusiasts working for well-known record shops around the globe. Nokia has also signed on musician David Bowie to contribute a monthly feature or podcast about new music that he has discovered. Visitors to the site will also be able to listen to music clips and read artist interviews. The site will be launched first in the U.K. and Australia, although music fans around the world will be able to sign up to those sites when they're launched. Access to the site will be free. Vanjoki hinted that the site might be expanded based on technology Nokia expects to acquire through theÂ purchase of Loudeye. That acquisition, announced in August, hasn't closed yet so Vanjoki said he couldn't provide further details on how Loudeye's technology might be relevant to the new music recommendation site. He called Tuesday's announcement a "precursor" of things to come. Nokia also introduced music editions of three existing phones, the N70, N73 and N91. The phones include dedicated music access keys, additional storage capacity and new software to make synching easier.
