Navteq is Nokia's cartography division. Ovi Maps is that service you mention, and it will ship on the N900.

I have to remember this. You're so right. The N900 is so amazing, if I had a BB and depended on it for work, I'd STILL carry the N900 BECAUSE it will blow my mind, but it may not be a good experience for all. The N900 allows so much, I'm not interested in what it won't allow simply because of its open nature. It is capable of doing whatever we want it to do. That is the N900's selling point. You can get the N900 to do anything. You can't do the same for the BB, no matter how hard you try.

I guess I agree with you, this time, but only for the email part. I'd actually stick with the BB and wait for the N900 to get it right before spending $500+ on an Eseries, as long as the wait isn't over 4 months from release.
