I asked twice on blog.ovi.com about Ovi Maps with voice navigation on N900, and both times a Nokia employee answered the Ovi Maps team is working on this and will be available someday, just didn't say any estimated date, but that is usual among Nokia and understandable. I was skeptical before but now I believe Ovi Maps will have proper navigation on N900, just think will take at least a couple of months, if not more...

Never has so few wanted so much by something so little. I do hope the 1.2 update is what all the die hards want.
I can't help but read these forums and think "Crunch time." for the N900.

Maybe related to China's gps/mapping regulations that supposedly require digital maps to include offsets that are then corrected by approved devices. But Hong Kong should not be included in this nonsense. Could never get a straight answer out of any map providers concerning this, though they will gladly sell you unusable maps.

I went to Mongkok this afternoon and came across the N900 roadshow event too. Here are some more pics:
Haven't had a chance to go back yet, maybe tonight. Were you able
to see if Skype Video actually works ?
