Never has so few wanted so much by something so little. I do hope the 1.2 update is what all the die hards want.

I can't help but read these forums and think "Crunch time." for the N900.

jonan,

I asked twice on blog.ovi.com about Ovi Maps with voice navigation on N900, and both times a Nokia employee answered the Ovi Maps team is working on this and will be available someday, just didn't say any estimated date, but that is usual among Nokia and understandable. I was skeptical before but now I believe Ovi Maps will have proper navigation on N900, just think will take at least a couple of months, if not more...

Hoping this happens soon! While Maps is lacking features the offline maps are great and I would be happy if it simply showed the correct location. But it doesn't, the GPS location is hundreds of meters off in Hong Kong, China, and Macau. From what I gather its fine for other countries.

Maybe related to China's gps/mapping regulations that supposedly require digital maps to include offsets that are then corrected by approved devices. But Hong Kong should not be included in this nonsense. Could never get a straight answer out of any map providers concerning this, though they will gladly sell you unusable maps.

Cool pictures. The video out really is great for selling this thing
Haven't had a chance to go back yet, maybe tonight. Were you able

Citycall sales guy was telling me bluetooth headset included if I pre-order now. Check the first of Amanda's Mongkok pictures.

Sweet, this will give Chinese simplified and traditional handwriting recognition. Is this free for non Hong Kong N900 users? Anyone installed it yet?
