I really enjoy seeing the Nokia Beta Labs’ updates for new applications that enhance what my Nokia handset can do. I use Nokia Sports Tracker from time to time to map out my jogging routes (but try to jog lightly, so I don’t jog with my Nokia N82 often). It’s a great way to utilize the N82′s GPS and being able to save your routes and share them with friends and fellow joggers is a treat.

When the Nokia Beta Lab released the Step Counter I was very much intrigued. I enjoy seeing data about my personal fitness right on my handset as soon as it happens. I just started the application and my first qualm rears its head: Why can’t the Nokia Step Counter use the same user profile that I created to use Nokia Sports Tracker?

Let’s face it: The Step Counter was derived from the Nokia Sports Tracker. Just by using the application, one can tell that it is very similar to Sports Tracker. So why am I entering a new user profile to use the Step Counter?

It is really that hard to have some consistency amongst Nokia applications and the user profiles that we create for them?  I see no reason why I couldn’t use my Sports Tracker profile with Step Counter. I even searched the menu to IMPORT my profile from Sports Tracker because that just seemed RIGHT.

I’ve ranted…now it’s time to step.
