Nokia has just announced an upcoming smartphone model for all you athletics out there.  The S60 Third Edition 5500 Sport will use a single button switch between three different modes:  music, sport & phone. 

The music mode will allow you to listen to the music you have stored on your microSD card or FM radio.  The sport selection lets you use the integrated pedometer, cool!, to calculate your distance or calories you burn.  And well, the phone mode is pretty self-explanatory. 

The steel casing & dust-resistant shell with rubber grips make this smartphone the perfect companion for sport enthusiasts. Other features of the Nokia 5500 Sport include text to speech, 2 megapixel camera, & integrated flashlight- sounds very handy.

The 5500 Sport is set to his stores in late summer, which means next year, right?  With a cost of around $400.
