Steve Litchfield over at AAS has spotted that Ovi Maps is now priced at a very low level for older Symbian devices. 10 uros for a ‘Drive Europe’ licence looks like good value to me, although many will still demand free…
“As noted in Rafe’s Maps interview thread, Nokia isn’t keen to put resources behind creating a version of Ovi Maps 3.3 with free voice navigation for older S60 3rd Edition FP2 and FP1 (and vanilla 3rd Edition) phones. A good question is why Nokia doesn’t then just make existing navigation licenses free, thus having much the same effect. It seems that they’ve gone much of the way to ‘free’ for older devices, with even a full ‘Drive Europe’ license now only costing 10 Euros for a year – this presumably to help cover admin and server costs.
