Here is how I see it:

- I expect Nokia to support the device to bring it in line with other high end Nokia devices
- Therfore I expect that they will deliver OVI maps with similar functionality as available on other high end Nokia devices.
- I am okay that it will take a little time given the relatively new OS.

I also expect clarifying statements by Nokia regarding this issue within a few days.

So I have expectations and will wait and see if Nokia is able and willing to fulfill them.

If they do not, then I have to reconsider my stands towards Nokia. But I really expect that they will come up with a good solution, as I believe that customers like me (and most others on this board) who bought an N900 are important for their future sales.

That's fair enough.
Symbian is the main os supported by Nokia and on many of it's mobile phones. It is a larger installed user base.

However, this quote from the V.P. of Nokia caused alarm for a few people:
"In a call with Michael Halbherr, Nokia's VP of Social Location, we were told that the new Ovi Maps would arrive on the flagship N97 very shortly. It's currently a "software logistics issue" related to the maturity of the N97 device. N900 owners shouldn't hold their breath, though, as Nokia is focusing on bringing its free navigation service to the next generation of Maemo devices. That's not to say that the N900 won't get it eventually, only that it's not currently on the roadmap."
