To follow up on this (since there is way to much FUD on this matter on the internet and in these forums), I took the scary concept of actually talking to Nokia Care in the UK today and was told the same story as above. Turn by turn voice guided Sat Nav would be available for free on the N900.

I doubt that a 1st line Helpdesk agent would have access to development prjoect timelines. They're trained to speak in generalities. "Offered" does not mean free. They could just as well be referring to Sygic's application whose release is imminent.

Fair comment, if I was actually speaking to 1st Line. I got escalated to a N900 specialist who did sound a tad more technical since I had some other concerns which I wont go into here..

I asked specifically if free voice guided nav would be available and was told 'yes'. If that was a fib, not a lot I can do about that apart from ring them back, quote the call ref and name of the advisor, and begin the debate to the rebate they will give me!

I did see references but the bigger question of whether Qt 6 will come to N900 has been addressed, "it will come".
