Nokia’s N79 Active cell phone and Polar Bluetooth Wearlink heart rate measurement unit package provides a serious tool for monitoring your fitness when combined with Nokia’s Sports Tracker software application (free download). With the phone secured in an included arm band and your heart rate data collected by the N79 Active over a Bluetooth connection to the heart rate belt worn around your chest, you are set to train in an intelligent manner to raise your fitness.

The Nokia N79 Active phone is no different to other N79 phones with 3G network speeds, Wi-Fi, 5-megapixel camera (+ video), GPS and Symbian operating system. With the input from the N79s built-in GPS receiver, Nokia’s Sports Tracker application will display importants stats in real time and also log them for later uploading to Nokia’s Sports Tracker support site for review and perhaps sharing with team mates or a trainer. With the GPS data you can see an overlay of your route on a map.
