I too learnt the hard way not to put my faith in Nokia updating devices that are new-to-market. I think the advertising and promotion of N900's navigation abilities was potentially misleading;

If just about every mid-tier and upward Nokia phone has fully-functional SatNav with turn-by-turn voice instructions it is not unreasonable to expect a top-end (i.e. premium-priced, "powerful" device) to be similarly equipped.

Nokia may have had other fish to fry with Meego and N8, etc., but they really should have looked after their N900 customers better and delivered a more complete package.

After all, we are the ones most likely to invest in a Meego device...

I for one will be taking a back seat on Meego for a while. Rather than risk more of my hard-earned cash I will probably buy a second-hand X6 or E-series device as a second device for navigation - they have all had a good few firmware updates and have matured into stable, useable devices. They can all run the latest version of Ovi Maps as well - free to download for all other current Nokia devices...

Don't get me wrong - I love my N900 and there's no way I'll part with it, but you'll see Satan skating to work before I invest in the 'next new thing from Nokia'
