@Hagar, some of the statements I can answer based on informaiton from this forum and blog.ovi.com, although I do agree Nokia can do a better job communication their official position. IMHO some answers like the one about Ovi Maps are not "official" on talk.maemo.org just because of political issues. As a large company, Nokia has several different teams and the Maemo one can not comment about the work from the Ovi Team for example...

if the Maps will support the voice guided navigation or not
I've asked twice on blog.ovi.com and Nokia employees answered they are working on voice guided navigation for N900, just didn't say any estimated date to release it but that's not a surprise. Anyway, I am confident it will be available sometime...

@qgil and other sources from Nokia already answered this several times. No, it won't be officially available for N900, just by installing 3rd party products like fMMS.

The leaked version of PR1.2 already has video calling for Skype and GTalk, so it probably will be officially available. Regarding cellular video calling I am not sure, but I don't think so.... as far as I know people don't use it a lot (I just tested once on my N95 and never again), so Nokia may not officially support it like with MMS. Don't know if there is an official position about this tough.
