So... Still no release date/ETA ???

This is so awsome; claiming they have a software ready for months and not even publish an ETA... Come on, is Sygic just fooling us around ?

And what about nokia ? Werent we supposed to have free Ovi Maps navigation for all nokia devices in march ?
Yep, I know, it's still begining of march, but I tend not to beleive nokia's PR lately.

But I guess that's (sadly) good for competition, I, as many of us, am going for standalone tomtom satnav, and I guess I am (sadly, once again), stepping out of nokia for my next mobile device.

The software is ready. There are many videos demonstrating this and there are actual members of this forum testing the software for Sygic for the past couple of months. I thnk they are as frustrated as us with not been able to realease it.

Why they just don't release it in their own shop then ?

You think that is bad. I have to carry my ancient HP HW6915 Windows Mobile 5 around with me because it came with TomTom pre-installed and provides the navigation features N900 is still missing.

Although someone from the ovi team has responed to some questions on the blog now, they completly ignored our maemo-questions. Great.

It looks pretty garbage, ovi maps 3.x is better looking, so is 1.x. It's a shame nokia hates the n900 so much.

We are simply too nice with them, actions are required here!

No idea why they haven't released it on their own yet, it might be a special contract with Nokia.

The reason could be not just a contract obligation, but also related with anti-piracy technology being provided by Ovi Store instead of Sygic building its own protection system...

Hi!

I was at the stand from Sygic at the CeBIT 2010 in Hannover, Germany!
They said to me that the software is already finished. But they're waiting for an response ("okay" or stlt ?!?) from Nokia.
->The Problem isn't Sygic. It's Nokia.

That is what I heard.

So are we waiting that Nokia finishes their Navigation software to Maeno with turn-by-turn and voice navigation and then they so green light to Sygic :D
