Benefon — a Finnish handset maker which focused on GPS phones years before they became popular — has signed a deal with Nokia (NYSE: NOK) to put its GyPSii location-based social networking service on the N95 and 6110 handsets reports Reuters. Benefon, which recently changed its name to GeoSentric and raised $13 million in funding, bought the GyPSii application earlier this year. GyPSii lets people upload pictures, videos and sound clips recorded with their phone and automatically encoded with the location where the content was created, as well as see where their friends are.
