Like if you're travelling somewhere or just hanging out in the city with nothing important to do - like flagging yourself that you're available for coffee or something. And I read somewhere that they're also trying to aim this(or another iteration) to business users as well in the future. Finding a collegue withing the office, available tagged resources. I haven't tried to application (as my S60 phone was stolen/lost [don't know, I was drunk] in NY, but the system should be a bit similar to Facebook status feature: people broadcast their status at their will...and you'll receive it even if you don't broadcast it. I agree that this service is a bit exclusive becuase of the need to have S60 phone. So, integration to Facebook would be neat: ppl without a S60 could enjoy the some of the benefits of "So-Lo", and perhaps even build up the desire to have one themselves.

Nokia should be happy because it's the only manufacture in the world that creates a lof of services like this one (and Ovi, etc etc) but it is just "ignored" by the entire world. One of the reasons is that they make no publicity about any services, if you go to any Nokia (of your country) you never see anything talking about X service Nokia just launched.. I got surprised when I saw an ad about Ovi! lol But the major is that all these services are only available to the N-series.. Is it so difficult to get that people who use a E-series device is also looking for multimedia stuff??! (LIKE ME!) I share the same point of view as you.

Now going back to the actual application...I don't even like the idea of my friends, especially my girlfriend knowing my exact location (not that I am doing anything unfaithful here)...just that if I don't feel like hanging out or going somewhere (we all have those days), I don't want my friends being able to track me down...
