Rephrase that, there is GPS, just not turn by turn navigation

There is MMS, its just not "OS integrated" at the moment. fMMS is the solution.

As for video calling, I wish that would hurry up too. The other half wants to video call me often.

I saw a post the other day that said video call was possible on the n900 with gtalk. You just can't initiate from the n900. SO, if some one else on a pc with a web came initiates the gtalk call from their computer you can respond and have two -way video chatting. i havent tried this personally as none of my friends have gmail atm. so i can't personally say how well it works if it works at all

true...why cant sygic sell their sw on their webshop?

I am beginning to think (although I have no proof) that Nokia didn't want Sygic to release their product in case it had an adverse effect on their plans with their turn by turn navigation. Hence they got involved with Sygic and it looks like they have been able to control the release of the software to their ends instead of Sygics'

Why is that? They have no problem with Google Maps or Sygic on Symbian?

They have it because this companies invested on Symbian before Nokia decision to offer free navigation... There is a commercial strategy behind this offer, it is not just about selling more devices... Nokia intends to compete with Google Maps with 3rd party developed content to offer location based services, and with that in mind why would they want other GPS app installed on its phones?

It's a very long shot but as conspiracies go - could Nokia be delaying the Sygic roll-out because they don't want N900 users using it instead of their own offering? Perhaps they want to get ovi maps with navigation on the N900 released at the same time so that most wouldn't even bother with paying for Sygic?

I don't know - just pure speculation on my part and perhaps I should just stop guessing and see what happens....

I was thinking this is a possibility, specially since Sygic confirms they use Navteq maps for the Maemo version, which is owned by Nokia anyway. Sure it is pure speculation, but since there is no news for some time (PR1.2, Ovi Maps, new apps on Ovi Store and so on...) we have time to expend... I guess that's why Nokia release the PR1.1.1 update just after announcing Free Navigation for Ovi Maps with N900 left out, so we could be distracted for a while... :p

I guess it's all good fun and keeps this thread interesting with all of its twists and turns. I suppose with a little embellishment it could make a good film plot.

It would keep viewers on the edge of their seats: not knowing how it will turn out or when.

"Sygic Turns One Way - Nokia Turns the Other" - how about that for a working title? :)
