Nokia and Securitas announced a new cooperation in the area of mobile services for personal security and every day safety. The two companies plan to introduce attractive and affordable security services in Nokia mobile devices.
The service called Securitas Safe-2-Go will make it possible to get help in an exposed situation, as well as get information regarding the location of friends and family. Four different services will be included in the offering:
- Assist – connects you to Securitas alarm central which has information about who is connecting, where this person is located and which people related to the person need to be contacted.
- Find – where you can get the current position on where friends are located.
- Zone – where you receive an SMS if someone leaves or comes into a predefined area.
- Friends – which gives an overview of where all friends are located.
Securitas Safe-2-Go will be launched commercially during the first half of 2009 in Sweden and be launched in other European countries later in the year. It will work on all GPS-enabled Symbian S60 devices.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
