Nokia puts Lonely Planet Guides on Phones

Lonely Planet contents are now available on selected Nokia mobile phones which can be downloaded directly onto the device or PC.

Users of Nokia Maps can download Lonely Planet content covering more than 100 worldwide destinations. Each download will cost $11.75. Nokia Maps already cover more than 200 countries with more than 70 of them navigable.

The service is obviously targeted to travelers and globe trotters. Nokia will be adding more guides over its existing set on a regular basis. Downloads are available in the Extras menu on Nokia phones. Nokia Maps 2.0 uses maps provided by Navteq and TeleAtlas.
