We knew this to be the case for a while now...

]OT: I wonder what the ramifications are for dropping the phone. I hope the tabs holding the other half together are solid.
It didn't seem like the phone was in a case. Maybe an other half could have a similar "case" built in to itself.

Nope, at no point has any of the arrangement been exclusive, else MS would've successfully manipulated them once again, HERE is now a central part of their strategy going forward, they need to monetise as much as possible, & they need absolute flexibility for that. I've been following all the developments surrounding Nokia's future regularly/obsessively(?) @MNB, & there's been absolutely no hint that MS has it's tentacles on some kind of "exclusive arrangement", touch-wood.
It also shows by that HERE is being pushed to all possible platform. Jolla being prime example.

I just got in and I can see a clear reference to .... HERE!!!
if you look at terms and conditions of the jolla harbour, then you can see for instance at the end (in the restriction part) a lot of mentions to HERE services, HERE Positioning services...
that is good news for me
I'm still not too hopeful at seeing some kind of full map suite from Jolla, but at least they have a proper source for the mapping data.
Can somebody show a example where HERE is mentioned?
EDIT: I guess they are in terms? Just can't enter the terms page at the moment.

But do they use same maps for all versions? Don't like to be map outdated by device level. Jolla and windows have same maps right?

Yeah!
The HERE news, if indeed true, remove my biggest worry about the Jolla device. Which I of course preordered months ago anyway. Sail on!

Sorta odd to see how Nokia's HERE being so well received since it really got its start on Windows Phone 8 initially. I would have never thought anybody here really had tried it due to the platform.
But as it stands, good news is good news. Now, onward to release dates outside of Finland and China.

Belle FP2+ was even more featureful than Harmattan, although IIRC even it's no longer more feature-packed overall.

If they don't do that it's going to get hacked onto so many Android phones anyways and CyanogenMod will get pressured more and more by the public to put Sailfish features on their ROM.
So CM buys license for compatibility layer and license for Sailfish OS and CM gets downloads profit.

HERE is pretty damn good these days on Lumia. One big update behind the scenes has been less of a need for actual software updates for Lumia phones to get updated maps.
Nokia also moved from needing to update the whole regional map when map update is pushed, to them being able to push a single small update that just adds/fixes couple of streets and you wont need to update your whole ~1GB of map data in a result.
Though again lets remember that we are talking about map data provider here. It's another story how it will be all implemented on Jolla.
Nokia's HERE geared towards car manufacturers is built using Qt btw.
