Possible resolutions to the issue: Ensure you have network access Restart the client Restart the device Remove your Nokia Account via the Account manager, restart the device, and add it back Try again later Updating to PR 1.2 when available will fix the problem entirely * Network latency can cause duplicate posts/comments sometimes * Device notifications of Pulse activity can only be sent to one device per Pulse/Nokia user.

[MeeGo Harmattan] Nokia City Scene : Explore cities

Explore cities in 3D with Nokia City Scene from Nokia Research Center. Click on buildings to browse their stores and services, or use search to jump to what you are looking for. Connect to your social networks to find friends' check-ins or share locations. Now featuring about a dozen US cities with coverage expanding both in the US and to Europe.

The application combines NAVTEQ street imagery, building models and terrain data to create interactive panoramic street scenes. It uses building models to make buildings clickable, and to present information right on the building facade, so you can discover information just by browsing along a street.

You can use City Scene's location aware search to jump directly to a panoramic view of the place you're looking for, so you'll recognize it when you go there. The application lists your friends' Foursquare and Facebook check-ins so you can jump to where they've been. You can also share "postcards" of locations complete with street address (maybe suggesting a place to meet for coffee later). The Featured Cities list will grow automatically as NAVTEQ completes more drives.
