And it has been answered...

so I bought the wrong device? even with map downloader and 32G+ storage?

even cheapest symbian devices can search in maps offline! and there were
predownloaded maps the same way on symbian. also that devices have much lower
storage capacity and offline searching is not an issue on them.

the storage capacity is simply not a valid reason.

...which is quite a reasonable answer - in my personal opinion.

and one more thing:

Do you expect a car manufacturing company to announce it's a brand new model as a car "that is meant to be driven"?

It's a simple assumption being made based on the "Ovi Maps preinstalled" advertisement, essecialy when one is moved from a symbian device! C'mon, who are you fooling here?!

We've been served a half-backed OS, and all signs on the sky proof me that it is not going to change after all.
