High-end handset from Nokia meets wireless heart monitor from Polar
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the Nokia N79 Active, which
ships with the wireless Polar Bluetooth WearLink heart rate belt from
Polar, the leading brand in sports instruments and heart rate
monitoring.
This healthy addition to the Nokia Nseries range is the perfect
running companion. A-GPS tracking and a new version of the popular
Nokia Sports Tracker application - available simultaneously with
first shipments of the device - spur you to record and publish your
favorite routes and fitness data on the web. You can also share the
tracks you listened to while working out, as well as upload and
geotag route images taken with the Nokia N79 Active's built-in 5
Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics.
"The Nokia N79 Active is all about fun and fitness," said Juha
Kokkonen, Director, Nokia Nseries. "This handset keeps you
entertained on those long workouts as you get in shape for next
summer, while the Polar heart rate belt lets you know exactly how
you're doing. And with Sports Tracker you can add a new social
dimension to your fitness program by building up and sharing a great
record of all your workouts. This is an inspiring way to track your
progress and to challenge yourself and fellow workout partners."
"Polar is the number one choice for heart rate worldwide," said Marco
Suvilaakso, Executive Director, Polar, Sports Business Area. "Now
with the Nokia N79 Active, the comfortable Polar Bluetooth WearLink
heart rate belt takes the guess-work out of training. When you can
objectively see how hard your body is working, you can enjoy working
out with a whole new level of confidence."
The Active version of the Nokia N79, the smallest Nokia Nseries
device to date, ships with sporty headphones and an armband so you
can keep yourself plugged in as you work out. A 4GB microSD memory
card holds enough music even for those long endurance sessions. You
can add new tracks to your playlists over the air from the Nokia
Music Store or tune in to the radio with the handset's FM
transmitter.
The Nokia N79 Active will be available in select markets for an
estimated retail price of EUR 375 before taxes and subsidies.
