At the office Friday Eddie and I installed Nokia Sensor on our Nokia 6682 phones. Nokia Sensor is a application distributed in Europe that runs on your phone and via bluetooth advertises a folio to other sensor users in the immediate bluetooth vicinity. Your folio is a picture and any other facts you want to share such as your age or where you live. If you ever found another person running sensor on a Series 60 phone you can then do all sorts of weird socially things if staring at a tiny 2" screen is social. The funniest part is the buddy alert whistle noise that plays, it kept going off as the two phones connected and disconnected. On the subway ride home I fired it up and was VERY surprised to see it found another person. What it did was find any discoverable bluetooth phones, I could then send a message via bluetooth including to recommend Sensor, pretty clever.
