Today Nokia Betalabs team introduced a new experimental app ‘Nokia Situations’. Its a utility app that automatically senses the situation you are in and adapts your device to it according to your predefined preferences.

Nokia Situations helps your device tie more into your life. You can manually define situations, like “In a meeting”, “Sleeping”, “Watching TV”, or “Playing with kids” and define how you want the device to act.  With the application running in the background, your device automatically senses the situation you are in and adapts to it according to your preferences.

You can trigger any combination of the following actions in any situation:

• Change Ringtones, make the phone go silent or louder, turn vibra on/off, and all the other profile settings.
• Answer missed calls with SMS. Especially when you set your phone to silent, you can also make it reply to missed calls, from contacts in your phonebook, with a pre-defined SMS.
• Save Power. Not using phone for a while, like when sleeping? Turn Bluetooth on/off or let your phone change to power-saving mode totally.
• Change UI theme / Wallpaper. Want to make the phone look different in different situations? Change the Theme during free time vs. when you are at work.
• Open a Web bookmark or application. Want to see weather forecast for the day when you wake up? Look at the calendar as first thing? Or open your favorite TV show discussion page at show time? Or perhaps change the Device Mode when at work?

To enable the device to act on the situation, you can tell the device to watch for the following conditions (separately or in combination):

• Scheduled. Set period of time, Set active days, Set during active calendar events.
• Location. Nearby (GSM location), Current location (GPS fix), From Map (use Ovi maps)
• Connectivity. Wi-Fi (when in range), Bluetooth

Currently this application is under experimental stage and beta is released for trial, So share your thoughts, submit bugs or suggestions to Betalabs team to make this app better.

Nokia Situations available for Symbian 3rd edition FP2, Symbian^1 and Symbian^3 devices.
