This has devolved to another thread with new posters *****ing about the N900 not matching their expectations. Come on people, enough is enough. If some feature was not on the specifications and no one officially announced it will be available don't buy a device thinking it will subsequently magically appear.
Nokia obviously doesn't follow expectations of buyers and again losing ground (deja vu N97).
Here is people's voice.

As for that Engadget post, well, funny that even though that site was crying that Symbian is dead, its marketshare INCREASED the last quarter. People's voice, eh? What US-based blogs report is not necessarily the reality of the situation.
In any event, I won't derail this thread by having this argument, it is pointless.
Back to my question: how good is the search feature? Does it support OTA updates or even server-side content search for POI?

Now it's in NOKIA hands only.
As you said it is in their hands now, and there were rumors that Sygic had submitted the SW at 14th Jan but then found last minute bugs to correct.

I tried to use Ovi Maps the other night while driving... little rough to say the least.
Come on Sygic & Nokia.... money's burning a hole in my pocket!

there are so much variable if one likes to predict when and how we'll get a better navigation...
ovi store payment problems, possible agreement with the telcos to solve this problem, need of promoting symbian, maemo 6 as milestone, launch of ovi maps 3, previous sygic agreement, navteq-teleatlas, sygic last minute bugs, nokia silence, hype factor...
i give up. i sit here on the river side and wait...

So you don't need to buy two packages, but all in one.
For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Katarina
I just noticed today that on the webshop of Sygic you can actually choose 'Europe' or 'US'. Up until yesterday you could only choose individual (groups of) countries, or US West or East.
This seems to confirm what Katarina said.
Still with the 'Coming soon'-label, so no purchasing yet unfortunately.

At least third companies like Sygic are paying some attention to the customer request on this forum, since Nokia doesn't seem to be listening complains, from this forum and also discussions.nokia.com...

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:28.
Now, for the ones testing out the Sygic solution, how good is the search feature? Does it support OTA updates or even server-side content search for POI?
