Mobile Industry Review: Two weeks with Ovi: Week 2

Ricky · 1 year ago

Interesting post, specifically against Google Maps Mobile. Personally, I swap between the two, preferring Nokia Maps for actual navigation and POI, and Google Maps Mobile for navigating in close quarters, and general searching.

Nokia isn't advertising Nokia Maps 2.0 because it's still in beta, hence it being located at the Beta Labs. There are issues with certain models still, such as the E90. I believe somewhere they said they plan to officially launch 2.0 this week.

That's pretty much been the balance of my usage. Prefer Google Maps on the iPhone for the nicer scrolling / scaling experience and bigger screen.
