Where's the long-promised case? Why such a delay on such an essential (ie. to protect screen) and seemingly unsophisticated accessory? Is it ever going to appear or has it been withdrawn without any announcement? What's going on??

Back to the Navigator kit... Does this mean there are US maps available? Nothing seems to be mentioned about them on the Navicore site.

What I would like to know is when we in North America can buy the Nav Kit with European maps. I travel to Europe a lot and I would like to purchase it before my next trip. The nokiausa.com site says it is out of stock.

Or deliver to a European address when purchasing with a US credit card?Buying the Euro NavKit in a European bricks and mortar store should work... assuming you can find one.

Slovakia
France
Germany & the Alps:
-Austria

Where is the U.S. Version!? (And where is my N800!?)

Hm, I'm close to buying one.. although I have a perfectly good TomTom for my Palm PDA. But that means I also have a good BT GPS already, and the navicore kit includes another GPS.. which is a waste. I wonder if there are other combo options.

The Navicore software and the maps are downloadable from their website. You can only use it with a valid license key, though. But once you have bought Navicore, you can download and use the missing maps.
