If the N900 had gotten the publicity that accompanied the N810, I could accept Nokia's lame excuses (and the carping of the fanbois here). But it no longer works for most of us. Fixed in Fremantle has become Handled in Harmattan. Consumers are told to live with it.

If you go to www.nokiausa.com you will see their flagship device, the N900, right at the top in a banner ad (with a second ad down the page).

As far as voice nav, just below the N900 banner is a banner ad for free voice nav. If you click through the N900 banner you get to the page where you can buy it. On this page the voice nav ad is again displayed at the bottom (it doesn't show on the N97 page). The implication is that this phone you are buying supports voice nav. It's only if you click through the voice nav ad and read the fine print at the bottom that you will notice the N900 is missing from the list.
