Nokia Announces Nokia Drive, MixRadio and Sports Hub [VIDEO]

Two new Nokia Windows Phone smartphones - the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 - have impressive hardware specifications, but Nokia made sure to give users a lot of extras on the software side.

At today's Nokia World conference the company announced three new services, which come free with the Lumias - Nokia Drive, Nokia Music with MixRadio and GigFinder, and Sports Hub.

Nokia Drive is a full, turn-by-turn voice navigation solution with support for 95 countries. It's available from the start screen of the Lumia 800 for easy access, and offers simple search and real-time GPS, with speed and distance information.

Nokia Music with MixRadio simplifies the music experience for users with the fact that it doesn't require a sign-up, a login or a password. It gives users a bunch of mixes with full-length music. It's also possible to create and share your own mixes.

Another new feature in Nokia Music is GigFinder, which enables you to search for live local music and buy concert tickets. All of this is coming in the Nokia Music software update which is coming later this year.

Nokia also announced the Sports Hub, developed in a partnership with ESPN. It gives users sports news, scores and detailed info about specific leagues, teams and players.
