Nokia has just announced the Nokia PC Phone. No, it's not a new smartphone, rather it's a software application that allows users to control their Nokia cell phones and smart phones through their home computer.

That's right. Now Nokia users can now view their call log and messages, manage their contacts, send SMS messages, even receive notifications of incoming calls and choose whether or not to answer it over their PC.

Easy to download and install, the software connects to the users' Nokia smartphone or cell phone via Bluetooth or data cables.

Currently the software in the beta stage of development, meaning that it does still have its bugs to iron out. For example, the Nokia PC Phone works well on Internet Explorer but not Mozilla Firefox yet. And the SMS text messaging features are still quite clunky and unresponsive.

There's little doubt, however, that a company with such a consistently impressive track record like Nokia has will sort through all of these minor problems soon enough and release another impeccable product in their later version Nokia PC Phone.
