Anyone use the downloadable hrm app on the 5800? If so, does this provide the data for sportstracker? Otherwise, does anyone use a hrm linked to the 5800 to supply data for sportstracker and if so, which hrm do you use?
Just curious as to how close to a cardiac I get each ride 😯
tempted to get one of those,
iPod is dying
Phone is dying
Need a Sat-nav
HRM is dead
Can it fairly effectively replace all 4?
Very possibly, mine has 8GB micro sd card so plenty of music space, free sat nav from nokia, maps of whole world available, makes phone calls, takes pics and vids, not used hrm yet
What heart rate monitor can you get that links to a nokia? I was only aware of the Polar-Nokia one which I thought you couldn't buy separately?
I imagine the app you are looking at is just one where you count your pulse and tap on the screen.

Probably not the heart rate.

would it pick up any polar strap? i've got one spare from the monitor that died.

Polar for Nokia is a totally different strap - it talks using bluetooth (which phones speak), rather than the polar Wearlink protocol which is different (phones can't speak it).
Standard polar isn't bluetooth, so won't talk to a phone.
I imagine the 'heart rate monitor' app talked about in the first post is:
http://www.n97i.com/nokia-5800-applications/nokia-5800-applications-review-heart-rate-monitor-2941
which doesn't use a strap, you have to listen / feel for your pulse, then tap the screen in time with it.
I'd love to be proven wrong though - if anyone has a source of bluetooth heart rate straps that aren't dead expensive, please post detail up!

I think the heart rate monitor only came bundled the N79 when I was looking into getting one for my phone, yI couldn't seem to find one anywhere.
