TripAdvisor for Nokia app launched, integrates with Ovi Maps

TripAdvisor has announced a new partnership with mobile giant Nokia which will include an Ovi app for Nokia's Ovi Store, and integration of the TripAdvisor service into Nokia's Ovi Maps.

The TripAdvisor for Nokia app allows travellers to search for popular hotels, restaurants and attractions in their vicinity, as well as find the cheapest airfares available. The app is available in 12 different languages, giving travellers around the globe a localised TripAdvisor experience.

With the tap of a finger, Nokia users can now find and filter hotels and attractions by rating, distance and price. Travellers can also post reviews while they're on the road and their experiences are still fresh.

The TripAdvisor for Nokia app is available for free to all Nokia Symbian touchscreen smartphone users globally today on the Ovi store. Trip Advisor for Ovi Maps launches today in select markets, with full global roll-out scheduled within a month.

TripAdvisor also has free apps available for iPhone, Android and Palm Pre users, and the TripAdvisor mobile website is compatible with all major cell phones and smartphones.
