I don't think it's that common. Ovi Maps is just now turning free, Nokia will use it to improve future sales.
I don't follow you. On my N96 I got ovi maps 2 - 3 upgrade. I fail to see what difference the price removal has to do with it. I had some premium software that was updated for free about a year after I bought the phone.

Besides which - everybody else is getting is really the point. Phones much longer in the tooth than the N900 are getting it. I don't think it's an unreasonable to fell let down if all other current phones are getting it but we don't.

It's not like nokia haven't use navigation as a selling point. I'm not sure I'd have bought an N900 if it didn't have GPS - it's not therefore unreasonable to expect that functionality to be properly supported.
