I use Ovi Maps all the time, I have version 3.07 beta with the seperate Drive app, similar ti the N9 Drive ap. It looks better than 3.06 and find results better, has updated maps and voice guidance files and UI. I have my 5 most traveled US states downloaded and ready to go and I fully recommend that if you can find a cheap N8, compared to a similarly feature packed gps unit, buy the N8.

I have the N8. I only use it as an alarm clock and a fm radio now. I might trade it in to get an E7 or if they allow trade in for the N9. The small screen is annoying and I don't like the user interface and slow cpu. That keeps me from using it. I have a LG G2x now which is a dual core and has Cyanogen mod support so it's going to be hard to go backwards. The only part I miss is the open os and community of maemo. N9 looks pretty well done but like always Nokia low balls us on the processor.
Nokia stocks dropped when Elop announced he wanted to feel safe and secure and go with his former microsoft mommy precisely because of that, Nokia makes phones with lowest possible processor speed and windows phone needs the exact opposite to run.

That is not really what is going on is it. The "lowballing" has everything to do with Nokia's very long development cycle, which going with WP7 would shorten by 70%....

How does Nokia square that with also having an open-source community built around Maemo who WANT to help develop during the development cycle so that they can concentrate on building better hardware?
