"In a call with Michael Halbherr, Nokia's VP of Social Location, we were told that the new Ovi Maps would arrive on the flagship N97 very shortly. It's currently a "software logistics issue" related to the maturity of the N97 device. N900 owners shouldn't hold their breath, though, as Nokia is focusing on bringing its free navigation service to the next generation of Maemo devices. That's not to say that the N900 won't get it eventually, only that it's not currently on the roadmap."

I am VERY unimpressed by these news and since I am still in my initial 14 day trial, I think this is going back to base to be replaced with another option from the competition.

Hope there is a clarification soon about this - is this pay to test???? Bring out the device and then not support it? Do they want to steer people away to other brands?? C'mon Nokia, wake up!!
Oh for f sake..

what does an os have to do with navigation....

But yeah now it is free where is nokia's drive to really push it and give it also to the N900...
So only in the sales of the N900? But they already market that it has maps..

I have a feeling the N900 won't get the update since Sygic is already coming out with a navigation app but for a fee.

If they are talking about getting Maemo 6 done in a year or so and they won't even look into making Ovi Navigation available for the N900 before it's up and running for next gen, then we'll never see it. We'll all have Maemo 6 devices long before we can realistically expect it for the N900.

I really hope I'm wrong.
i too hope you are wrong but i fear it is more than likely you are correct that it will not be seen for n900.

Wow. No N900, no Maemo device at the moment.

Heck... if they bring this to the N810 for free, I'll be SET. Do it... do it Nokia. I'll even stop complaining about the lack of support.

Seriously guys.

Did you guys ever on ANY phone get a free next version of a preinstalled payware unless it was preannounced before you bought it?

I don't think it's that common. Ovi Maps is just now turning free, Nokia will use it to improve future sales.
