I guess this had to come, given that Nokia's Sports Tracker already contained an accelerometer-driven pedometer. But as Sports Tracker has widened its scope, there's room for a cut-down little brother, Step Counter. From the Step Counter page: "It determines the distance you have covered and your energy expenditure. You can even compare your activity levels on different days by looking up the summaries stored in a handy diary."
If this is similar to the step counter app on the 5500, battery life should be fine.

From the screenshots it seems to be exactly the same (with the daily/weekly/cumulative steps).. I use activity monitor all the time, but wasn't activity monitor released by nokia as well?
Yes, the Nokia Step Counter is an improved version of the Nokia Activity Monitor we released on research.nokia.com in December 2007. The main new feature is a scheduler that allows you to set the application to start and stop at pre-defined times each day. We have made quite a few minor changes, hopefully all for the better, but the overall look and feel is the same.
