With the iPhone and iPhone 3G already rocking more than a handful of location-based mobile social networking applications and services, it makes sense that Nokia is looking to throw their hat in to the ring and offer their own location-aware social network. Nokia Chat opens up a world of mobile social networking that incorporates positional-data in to its users’ profiles.
Nokia’s Chat instant-messaging client ties in your current location to let everyone in your contacts-list know just where you’re hanging out.

Give the video a once-over and find out if you want all your friends knowing exactly where you are.
