Either that or the crackers have used a non-retail version that was still compatible with them or something; although I find that unlikely.

Also usual disclaimer of me not supporting piracy blah blah... please don't hurt me mods :P

Anyway how long have we got to wait till we get decent Mapping?

Those sig maps dont support Australia i went to purchase it but my country is not listed.
so was it your 1st time running maps? did you not think to try it out when you got the phone?

maps on n900 suck its not a navigation app like the version on symbian. hopefully one day it might be decent.

Basically you purchase and install Sygic maps for N900. Then you obtain an "unsupported" map that works on another platform, such as Android. You manually add this to the Sygic maps you have purchased.

Not necessarily, my contract is 24 months I think and my original handset was the N97 but I sold it and bought an N900. You could just sell your n900 and buy something else.

I do like the n900 and it has lots of potential but it just isnt ready, too many missing features, and at this rate by the time the potential has been unlocked there will be a bigger better phone out there that ill want.
I second that!
(except for the part of it being a waste of money, I only had to pay 10 Euro's for the N900 cus i extended my contract )

I'm seriously considering to switch back to my N95-8GB as primary device for the following reasons:
- FREE office app.
- Google Maps (navigation)
- Louder speakers (ringtones/media-player)
- Easier to use with one hand
- no need to mess with X-terminal and stuff, just install the app you want and go!

At this moment I'm starting to feel like a Nokia-guineapig, who's visting the maemo-org forum daily just to try to get most out of it...
