If the below is the case, its flat out wrong - you buy the flagship device and arent even considered for an upgrade.
I would say that that had to be misheard... because if that was reality I would be PISSED. Maybe they meant a newer version of Maemo? I don't know; I can't believe that Nokia would be that dumb.
Side question: in the new OVI maps did they move the current position placement? It is ******ED to have that displayed above your current location--ESPECIALLY if the app only works in landscape. There is hardly any room to display what's ahead. Who gives a **** about what is way left and way right?
I don't know how to feel about this. I bought my n900 knowing that navigation was going to be weak or non-existant. I choose it over the Nexus One because I saw that I could do 95% of what Android does as well as a ot of stuff Android doesn't do. That and Google has an almost-contemptuous attitudde towards the Canadian market.
As I see it, I bought thw device as is; knowing the navigation wasn't there. If it does come it's a great bonus, if not I'm back where I started, which is not a bad place.
Though if Nokia releases Maemo 6 so soon after 5 and expects me to shell out another $600 on a device it's more than certain I'll be getting a Nexus Two instead.
Wouldn't we be better served by asking for/working on getting full Google maps support? Nokia's management's got cranial-rectal insertion syndrome, as with anything to do with the N900.
