Nokia to Release Foursquare App Next Week

Nokia has just announced that it will be releasing a Foursquare application for Symbian^3 devices. The application was unveiled at Nokia World in London earlier today and will make its way to the revamped Ovi Store as a featured application some time next week.

Foursquare for Nokia is similar in style and function to the Foursquare apps available on other smartphones. The similarities are in no small part due to a collaboration with the startup’s team on the design front.

Nokia World attendees got an advance look at the application. UK technology blog Electricpig posted a few photos of it, and describes the new offering — which was running on the new Nokia N8 — as, “crisp, fluid and functional, while managing to keep in line with Nokia’s typical UI and font design.”

It is is also tightly integrated with Ovi Maps, and includes a homescreen widget for quick glimpses at Foursquare activity.

The Nokia Foursquare app will launch first for Symbian^3 devices. Support for newer S60 devices is slated for a future date.
