this civil war is not helpfull!

This phone needs the same maps app as the n97 porting to n900!

NOKIA's current strategy re symbian and maemo/meego is risky to say the least!

i understand you dont turn off a huge customer base before you have the product to transition them to the new world! i guess thats the purpose of Qt but a port of the maps app is over due!

the problem is i can gaurentee that NOKI has diverted it limited resource to a new and better maps based on Qt which will be available for symbian and meego and maemo!

so basically the port is not gonna happen! the Qt will?

Google is taking it's maps and navigation products in a very impressive direction on android!

the really bold and obvious move to me is to open source some or all of the current maps app and encourage plugins to enhance the core app!

lets face it who will by syngic once a new free verison is available!

on the other hand i would be happy to part with cash for a much needed and sexy plugin!

just a thought
