Nokia Friend View: 7 months after its launch and after several updates, does anyone use it and finds it useful? I personally don't... it could have been the mobile Brightkite/Plazes but it never did!
The service itself is outstanding however the fact that it is Nokia to Nokia only is what will make it useless to most, especially in the states. If they would made this less platform specific they could have easily had a winner on their hands. This is coming from a Symbian fanatic. Useful yes, but only for a very small few of my friends.

In Italy Nokia has over 50% of share (it was even over 60% last year!), and in Europe in general is still very high. Still I don't see how it can be useful. Even Google Latitude got way superior in short, and the lack of several basic features don't make me think it will get better anytime soon. Pity, as Nokia owning Plazes.com could have combined them to a nice app.
