Nokia Betalabs has just intoduced a new beta app for Series S40 Nokia phones called Nokia Listings , It’s works like a local marketplace on mobile where users can discover and transact with other users using a simple mobile client interface on their mid-end Series 40 Nokia phone via SMS or GPRS.

Nokia Listings is designed for three major categories of listings:

1. Buy & Sell – Find or post items for sale
2. Jobs – Find or post a job
3. Local Services – Access or advertise services such as auto repairs, driver services, plumbers, etc.

Additionally, there’s no explicit registration needed, listings are geo-coded so that the user is able to find the services nearest to his/her place, and users have the ability to call or SMS the other party through the application and forward listings via SMS to their friends.

During this beta trial, the service is only available to users in India.  We are currently testing a limited content set and will be expanding across India in the near future. While the app will work on all Nokia devices that support Java, we’ve optimized the application for Series 40 phones.

Note: The client will work on non-touch S60 phones like E63, E71, E72, etc, but the experience may be sub-optimal on some of these devices
