Since 2003, most phones have had this feature, even feature phones. Every Motorola, HTC, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung feature and smartphone support OBEX push. I think expecting it from a $699 "premium" smart featurephone isn't too much to ask.

Wow! Just like..every other GPS enabled phone running Google Maps. Now tell me this. What good is a navigation app if it won't work when you're lost away from the cell network?

Ovi Maps requires no network connection, and is owned by Nokia, which owns Navteq, the world's best map data provider, and much better than TeleAtlas, which Google must pay for its data, and which may not always be up to date. Ovi Maps is yards better, with support for navigation inside architectural landmarks comng soon.

Not sure Google Maps is made for Ovi as a download yet, but with Ovi, who needs it?

They bought some AWS frequency to keep TMobile from having continuous bandwidth and try to force them to try to trade for some 850 and 1800 bandwidth, but it didn't work. at&t refuses to use its AWS signal, just squatting on the publics resources...

Ive written extensively about that on Symbian Freak
