hmmm, its all very well updating the os to something more up to date, but nout works with the new software. Tomtom only ever made symbian based software for nokia, so thats out. (along with its traffic)

google maps, traffic tv, and all the other gadgets and gizmos you can download are out too. Very little available other than facec0ck and idiotter shite.

Should  add, n900 has maemo based software. Totally new os. No apps for that.... yet.

I have some software for SYmbian. Navcore or something like that? Its 2006, and is on a MMC card thats can cut in half (Nokia thing apparently). If it will work for you, its all yours (I bought it for the bluetooth gps it came with, was cheaper than buying the GPS on its own).

Thanks J, Thats a kind offer. Trouble is the n900 is not symbian, its a maemo opperating system, which is (wait for it.....) lynux based.....afaik anyway.

Any symbian software wont work

pmsl, so even Nokia (Symbian's current owner, or have they sold it now?) don't use it.  That about sums up how poor Symbian is.

this range ( n900 n810 n7??) uses maemo, always has, or has been lynux based at least, they have been internet tablets only up to now, this is the first of that range to include phone functionality.
Dont know nokias intentions re symbian, the recently released n97 still uses it. I wondered if they would advance maemo instead from here on and drop symbian.
You said yourself symbian is dead, or at least very old, maybe they they have recognised that fact. Maemo is even more customisable but alot less depth to the menus. Apps  still a bit kidy winks though

You know your self nokia have a few os depending on the range of phones....series40 v series60(symbian) ? well now you know they have lynux based maemo.

I'm suprised you didnt rip into lynux as well tbh...

Symbian in all varieties is shite on touch screen, Nokia 5800 shows its limitations.

I used to like it, could run TomTom on S60 versions, back then it was fairly decent, but compared to iPhone and Android now its just horrid!

tomtom never made a touch screen version for nokia, they have suprisingly few symbian approved phones, version 6 just happens to work on most key pad/joy stick symbian phones, most later models are not approved as tomtom pulled out due to the insecure nature of the os. ie people kept hacking the security and gretting it for free.
tt love the gay phone due to the security of the spp store i guess....? hence it gets an approved version where all fuctions work, and i imagine it works very well on that large touch screen, tt is a touch screen app after all?

Not that anyone would do that 


Security? App Store  - Can jail break an iPhone in a matter of seconds, there are also loads of other 'app stores' out there, which let you download all the apps for free, including TT

AND ANOTHER THING, what a nightmare developers most have righting software for nokia devices, how many models do nokia have?
Taking tomtom for example, they would have been expected to right a software version for each and every capable model in the nokia range (maybe another reason why they pulled out of nokia support) there must be 40, maybe 50 smartphone handsets to right a version for? all differant in some way or other. Must need a team of people beavering away just keeping up with the next nokia release for any developer. What a logistical nightmare. Not to mention all the other brands and their, albeit less numerous, models.

Apple? easy, one model, job done! no wonder there is so much software (apps) available for the bloody thing.

Different firmware versions too, but, most important, screen size & res has stayed the same, Gen1 apps still work on Gen3....
