I have little concern about N900 being unfinished, AS LONG as Nokia provides similar capability (within reason) to what's elsewhere.
OVI maps is a case in point.
But if they just abandon the N900 users completely and focus entirely on maemo 6/next devices they are loosing hearts/minds of many users first steps to this platform.
That will seal the fate of maemo for me for certain. I'll be out of here and off to android despite the google empire issue.

It is also really nice that you can't access the OVI Maps (from ovi.com) with MicroB...

You people make me laugh.
The fact that it is once again singled out just proves that it is either not ready, has limitations or it has low priority inside Nokia organization - it is a business decision after all...
So see the post as what it is - as i said on my previous post, it is not the maps that worries me - the low interest of Nokia in the platform does. More, with the 5800 they tested the waters of touch and it did not cost the moon. For a device as expensive as the N97 or as a laptop I do expect ALL the features are available.

Not in those apps yet. Lacking voice annunciation of turns they're obviously not as good a navigation device as a dedicated GPS like a TomTom, but can to get there without referring to a paper map.
If I strongly desired the turn by turn functionality, my solution *today* would be buying an 18 month old TomTom from Ebay and using it for the next 6-9 months until the N900 gets closer to dedicated levels of functionality. I'd then sell the old TomTom at a smallish loss, and then use either the included (free) and upgraded version of Ovi Maps, or spend a bit more to get commercial software. The N900 would stay around for all the non-TomTom functions.

or maybe nokia does not know what they are doing: "Arshia Varlet (Nokia): The N900 will be added to list of compatible devices soon" from http://twitter.com/FoneArena
So who from Nokia is right? I hope Arshia Varlet statement is correct.
