It is misleading marketing not to have the same features as some other device?

Yes considering on the NOKIA website it states:
"Ovi Maps – Free navigation forever on Nokia smartphones."

I say again, is the N900 not a NOKIA smartphone!?

It is free. The fact that your _cell phone operator_ charges you money for data has nothing to do with the phone or the application itself. Blame your operator for that. And it does navigation. Maybe it does not do it the way YOU want it to, but it still does do it.

No.. its a computer duuuh?!

Anyway, check the link I posted only ovi maps 3.0.3 get free "navigation" (with turn by turn and so on). You can't just read the headlines without reading all the text, I bet you are the kind of person that buys stuff from TV commericals "buy now only 99 cent" or whatever and don't read the small text on the bottom where it says you have to pay high monthly fees.

free navigaton is not provided.
free routing is!

Shush. You'll summon the "n900 is a mobile computer" crowd.

Re: Who said Nokia did not do false advertising? look at this
 

It has a cellular modem and is therfore a phone, sorry, NOKIA b*****t asside!

Also it's sold alongside other smartphones, and is on my MOBILE TELEPHONE CONTRACT.

I read small print, I just expect logical progression and not for a £500 device to be left in the dark ages.

Re: Who said Nokia did not do false advertising? look at this
 

No one is questioning Nokia's 'safe position' standing behind all the legal fine prints.

The issue at play here is that: for a potential n900 buyer, they'll think the basic and standard features of nokia's symbian based smartphones (which are generally priced and specced lower than the n900) will also apply to the n900. Because the exclusion is written only in small prints.

That is all.

Reading a map is usually called navigating. Well, there is a map, it can be freely looked at, zoomed in and out and whatnot. Sounds like navigation. You are assuming navigation means much more than that, but it really doesn't. I'd love to see you to court: "It's not navigation because it doesn't read instructions to me!"
