This is exactly what is going to happen - I realised this back in January where a Nokia director said "it is unlikely the n900 would get free OVI maps" and the deafening silence that followed.

Nokia's future will be mobile phone maker not smartphone maker.

It's a damn shame I was hoping Nokia would step up to the challenge. I was kinda proud of a european company holding it's own against 2 american companies.

As Orange would say "The future is bright the future is orange"

As Nokia would say "The future is dull the future is a mildy insipid grey"
