Techcraver has undertaken an interview with Juha Kokkonen about the Nokia N79 Active. “Well, the phone itself is no different – it’s the same recently released NSeries phone with 3G network speeds, Wi-Fi, 5-megapixel camera that can take great video, GPS and Symbian operating system.

However, the N79 Active comes with a few accessories that make in an active person’s dream setup.  First, it features an arm band for wearing while you’re doing your sport, whether it be cycling, running, rowing, mountain biking, sailing or whatever.  Most importantly, it features a Polar chest band that communicates with your N79 and a new 2.0 version of the Sports Tracker application.

Using the N79’s GPS chip, the Sports Tracker application has long been able to graph your speeds, altitude, average speeds and other workout data.  But now with the heart rate information, you know metrics on how your body performed under these outside conditions.”
