You can get arrowed directions in OVI by clicking the arrow pointer as of PR1.2. Re-route is not a simple option though. Mappero (a community navigator) has all these features though, and is free. Re-route is an option when setting the route, has voice guidance, etc. And Sygic is also available.

I used my N6230 for over 6 years. Most mobiles are capable of quite a long life span if you buy them matching your projected needs. Since the N900 is so configurable, I expect to use mine for at least 4 or 5 years. The only way that would change is if GSM goes away for some reason, which I highly doubt will happen.
