Don't open it. It's a virus specifically targetted at the N900! It will start by recording from the front cam whenever you visit an adult site, then it will send all of your contacts obscene text messages and finally make your phone melt.

If you can afford how ever much a replacement phone would be where you are I'm sure you can afford to reward Sygic for their work and by doing so prove that developing for an open source OS can be commercially viable.

And if you're going to pirate software at least have the decency to be ashamed of it.
