Hi,
Nokia offers free maps for navigation for a family of gsm phones

What makes Nokia not to offer the same free NokiaMaps for Nokia 770/ Nokia 800 and to offer nor-free Navicore product maps for navigation ?
What is a chance to use free NokiaMaps on Nokia 770 / Nokia 800 in near future ?
Maemo mapper makes Nokia 770/ Nokia 800 really hot product.
Nokia 770/ Nokia 800 is not GSM phone, has no camera, has slow processor,
has no built-in gps receiver,
has tricky mmc memory cards, built in mono speaker (Nokia 770) only
Outdoor WiFi is ok, but needs free hotspot access coverage.
Second-hand market value is about $100,
I see no manufacturer's support,
so why not to offer free NokiaMaps as already offered to a family of Nokia gsm phones ?
I don't like to feel as a second-category (lower- category) user of Nokia made product.
It's the developer of maemo mapper, who makes Nokia 770 still a hot product.
But to develop maemo mapper into real car navigation product
its developer deserves co-financing from business sector.
Individual donations can't finance his highly valuable and appreciated full-time work.
