I'm also going to respond to a couple of other things:

Please explain to me how I can make cash when: 1) Any software I write will necessarily use GPL code and thus be freely available for others, such as Nokia, to integrate into their code and thus to use my intellectual property without compensation. 2) You need an XM/Sirius reciever to make the app work.

Well I did a traceroute that says otherwise. According to the traceroute there is no Akamai (let's be serious here, if they were using Akamai there certainly wouldn't be a bandwidth problem) and they are using a Qwest connection to a server somewhere in or around Los Angeles. More than likely the Quest connection is a single T1, or possibly some type of fractional T1 or SDSL connection.

Anyway, what get the impression of is that the Nxx series is simply a side project to gauge the viability of Linux to replace Symbian on Nokia's mainstream devices. A side benefit to Nokia is the ability for them to mine any GPL code submitted by Nxx developers and integrate it into their own code which they use to sell their devices. I don't see why I should develop for the Nxx just to find that later on Nokia has used my code without compensation to sell their devices and add to their billion dollar balance sheet. This especially true when they won't even support their own SDK with a proper server. That just makes me feel like I'm being used and abused and wasting my time with this. While I like coding for Linux I am now seriously questioning Nokia's intentions with this project.
