Nokia is all set to launch globally, the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition this quarter. The latest edition will have the Ovi Maps application pre-installed. Ovi Maps has a lot of new features to offer to the Nokia users. Ovi Maps come with high-resolution aerial images, 3D landmarks for over 200 cities, terrain maps, weather service, premium travel and events content and traffic and safety warnings. It is supported by Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities.
The Navigation Edition of Nokia 5800 will offer a Lifetime Voice-guided DRIVE and WALK Navigation Licenses. This is something that i think the Nokia 5800 missed the most over its competitors. When i bought Nokia 5800 (India), it came with a 3 months free navigation after which it required a monthly subscription with charges double my current data plan. At the same time, Iphone came with a lifetime navigation license. As an alternative i am currently using Google Maps which i find much much better than Nokia Maps.
With the release of the new Nokia 5800, we will have better navigation capabilities mainly because of the revamped Nokia Maps application. There are no reports of any hardware upgrades in the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, thus i think we may have the improved capabilities for our devices via FOTA.
Nokia is all set to provide its customers with a versatile device that has excellent multimedia capabilities with excellent Navigation capabilities as well. The new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition sales package includes, car charger and easily mountable Nokia car kit apart from from the regular in-box accessories. So it may replace your need for an extra GPS navigation system when you are driving. Now, Nokia 5800 is all set to be your friend all the time and everywhere.
The estimated cost the new Nokia 5800 is around 285 Euros plus taxes. If we consider not buying an extra GPS unit for driving purposes, this cost is reasonable in my view. However, this is just an estimation so nothing can be said at this moment. Let's wait for the official release this quarter.
Please post your views and comments and expectations from the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition.
