N86 support for free Navigation

Hi
I am thinking of ditching my Iphone and coming back to Nokia (because of the free navigation!). I really like the look of the N86 as it has all the features which are important to me.
Can anyone tell me if it will support the free navigation software in the near future? I am not too impatient so don't mind waiting, but don't want to buy the phone and find it is not compatable.
Thanks
James

UNFORTUNATELY, NO ONE OUTSIDE OF NOKIA KNOWS. AND NOKIA IS NOT TALKING.

  • Why Do People Make and Provide Software and Support for Free?

    Hey all, I discovered Linux and open source software a little over 4 years ago now. It transformed the way I thought about software and using the computer. So now in my senior year of college I have chosen for open source software to be the subject of my thesis.
    The topic of this thread is the research question of my thesis. But it is also question that I have been thinking about for the last couple years or so. Why do people decide to write software and then give it out for free for all to modify? The second has to do with forums like these. I have always wondered why people do help support on these forums for free when they can be making money doing the exact same thing. Below I will write 13 research questions that you guys can give me your answers or philosophy too.
    1. How long have you been using Linux?
    2. How did you learn/find out about Linux?
    3. Why have you chosen Linux over other operating systems available?
    4. Why did you choose to use your current distribution?
    5. Do you still use any closed source programs that are not available for Linux?
    6. Tell me the reasons that you contribute to the community?
    7. What do you think motivates others to contribute to the community?
    8. In your opinion, what reasons do you think others provide software to everyone for free?
    9. In what ways do you feel contributing to the community could benefit someone's future/career?
    10. What is it about contributing or programming that you enjoy most? Is there any aspects you dislike?
    11. Are you a member of other non-software communities? Such as a church, voluntary organizations or charities?
    12. Does your open source work spillover with any other areas of your life?
    13. If you provide support on forums such as these, why do it for free?
    You DO NOT have to answer all 13 of the questions above. Please just pick out the ones that you feel are most important or interesting to answer. If someone else says something that you think is interesting feel free to respond to them if you agree or disagree.
    If anyone wants to take this discussion further with me than the forum, I will absolutely love too! Just please send me a private message on here and we can figure out further ways of contacting each other.
    I plan on using your user names on this forum to identify people in my paper. If any of you are uncomfortable with me using your username in my paper, please let me know! I will be monitoring this thread on a day by day basis for the next two months or so, until my thesis is complete. If you guys have any other questions that pop up, please do not hesitate to ask! Thank you all in advance for responding!

    hockeyfighter09 wrote:1. How long have you been using Linux?
    Roughly 3 years, with about 2 of those full-time. Tried out for 6 months a couple of years before that, but didn't stick.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:2. How did you learn/find out about Linux?
    Older relatives/friends mentioned it in passing due to my interest in computers, was pointed to the (then-new) Ubuntu and actually given a CD (which I never used). Did read up a bit about it at the time, though.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:3. Why have you chosen Linux over other operating systems available?
    Frustration with fixing Windows. Most of that came from my tinkering with it with a bunch of patches/hacks/cracks etc, necessitating a reformat every few months. Oh, and viruses would pop-up once in a while. Mac was always out of my budget (was a student, am still not done with my post-grad).
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:4. Why did you choose to use your current distribution?
    Ubuntu got quite frustrating from two aspects:-
    1. 'Freeze' policy kept creating lousy bugs. I would have maybe 12 external ppas enabled and of course they wouldn't always play nice with each other, simply because the repos I had been so in awe of when first starting out didn't actually contain all that many useful programs. Used Mint for a while, same problem (now I understand it was the same base).
    2. SNR of forums - When I first joined ubuntuforums it was like heaven-on-earth, so HELPFUL, so many replies almost instantly. It took me roughly 1 and a half months to notice that probably only 2 regular posters were worth listening to, the rest were trying to help with no knowledge to back them up.
    So I tried Sidux, OpenSuse, Fedora, and finally read about Arch. Installed it side-by-side, and viola, it was fun! I like tinkering, basically, and Arch allows me to do it far more than Ubuntu/Windows (I class Ubuntu as similar to Windows by now) ever did.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:5. Do you still use any closed source programs that are not available for Linux?
    Yes, some games through wine (not sure if that counts as 'available for Linux'. I do not boot into Windows at all, anymore (though its on my laptop).
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:6. Tell me the reasons that you contribute to the community?
    One of the best things I like about open-source is how most active projects have a community around them. So its not just software, but people working together (of course with heirarchies etc.), fits my Utopian view of how things 'should be(tm)'. I'm a sucker for Utopia, so I try to feed the community as far as possible.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:7. What do you think motivates others to contribute to the community?
    A combination of 6. and substituting social deficiencies. Some come across as not actually having much of a social life (probably lack of those sharing nerdy interests in their area) and substituting that in online communities. This isn't really Linux specific, more internet-community specific.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:8. In your opinion, what reasons do you think others provide software to everyone for free?
    Perspective of personal developer (one-man projects), I think its a mix of altruism (probably 20-30%), pride (50%) and commercial sensibility (the rest). Most of it is pride, the knowledge that many use my software.
    For companies, as mentioned above, its very financially viable, especially in already-saturated markets.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:9. In what ways do you feel contributing to the community could benefit someone's future/career?
    Not much, honestly. My career-line is education/engineering, so not much scope there. For someone in the computer sciences, of course there'd be more benefit, but not more than investing the same amount of time into part-time work to expand your portfolio. So for the INDIVIDUAL I believe participating in the community does not bring future/career benefits, we do it because we enjoy the community and want to see it succeed.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:10. What is it about contributing or programming that you enjoy most? Is there any aspects you dislike?
    The sense of achievement, that what you do is useful to someone. The BIG dislike is when other members of the community don't feel the same way. There will always be members who are demanding (customer mentality) or abrasive (big tough guy mentality). Both are 'big city' mentalities with no place in the 'homely-little-town' community of Linux (that's how I see it anyway).
    Oh, and noobs answering questions with no knowledge (something I've done before as well) are more annoying than noobs asking questions, personal opinion
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:11. Are you a member of other non-software communities? Such as a church, voluntary organizations or charities?
    I'm very active in my church (various leadership roles), and regularly help out at my fiance's NGO (mostly video work, ffmpeg and cinelerra stuff). A child sponsor and blood donor, etc. etc.
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:12. Does your open source work spillover with any other areas of your life?
    I don't 'work' on open-source, so a bit of a N/A here. What small patches I provide, or the moderating I do here, is just small contributions. Doesn't spill over to any other areas of my life, because computers are like that, compartmentalized away from the 'real world' (cue Matrix theme tune).
    hockeyfighter09 wrote:13. If you provide support on forums such as these, why do it for free?
    Like I said, in a small village community setting, people help and are helped for free. I do tech support for friends/relatives in RL for free, so on the forums, for very little time invested, why not?
    In answer to litemotiv - yes control is MUCH more important than freedom. I've never really been taken by all of RMS' screaming and ranting. I'm an engineer by training, I want to know what's going on (to a reasonable degree) and control it. Philosophical discussions are interesting but ultimately a waste of time.

  • Continuing charge for "free" Navigator

    I just sent the following message to Verizon about a service and charge that I've asked to have deleted over and over again.  Anyone else have problems like this with billing?
    "I keep getting charged $9.99/month for a service that I've cancelled multiple times and in multiple ways (online, by email, on my phone, etc.).  I was given a "free" month of Navigator when I purchased my phone in June.  I cancelled it within the required 30 days.  But it keeps showing up on my bill.  TAKE IT OFF!!!!! and don't charge me anymore.  I'm tired of having to notify you every month about this to get a credit.  This will teach me to take anything that's labeled "free!"  I'll be posting this on your blog so everyone can see how you treat customers.  Give me back my AllTel - they did a much better job of customer service."

    I do not know if you can, but if so, delete the program off the phone also. But yes trying to get things done, the first time, with many companies can be difficult. Instead of trying the option for billing, try tech support Option 3. Rarely a hold time and they can offer credits and 'flip the switch' sorta speak. 
    Last week they cancelled a replacement phone that I had been told was shipped and gave me a credit for the hassle.

  • XDK support for UTF-16 Unicode

    Hi,
    Does the Oracle Java XDK, specifically the XSQL servlet and api,
    support UTF16-Unicode.
    Presumably, .xsql files have to be stored, read and queries
    executed in a Unicode compliant format for this to work. Is this
    possible currently???
    Thanks,
    - Manish

    If you are using XDK 9.0.1 or later, and you are using JDK 1.3,
    this combination supports UTF-16. XSQL inherits the support
    for "free" in this case.

  • 3-year warranty for UK Higher education for free

    I found links associated with the free 3-year warranty for UK Higher education.
    _http://apple.procureweb.ac.uk/index.htm_
    _http://store.apple.com/Catalog/ukinst/Images/salespolicies_individual.html
    the second link is the *Terms and Conditions for Higher Education Individual Purchases*.
    You can see the tenth part:
    10.1.1 All Apple-branded desktop and portable computer products shall be subject to a *36 calendar month warranty* period commencing from the date of purchase (the date of your invoice)
    Is the warranty above equivalent to apple care? And the warranty coverage is global?

    Hey Viv, I know the answer to your question!
    If you order a mac from the U.K's higher education website (university/ over the phone) you get three years warranty + one year phone support for FREE. This is not Applecare.
    Applecare = Three years warranty + Three years phone support. This will cost you, but alot cheaper if you are under higher education. E.g I brought an Aluminium iMac and Applecare costed me only £45(normal price £139 I think). To take advantage of this price, you must buy Applecare uplift - EMEA CC- HE CONTRACT UPLIFT(at bottom of customising your mac page) the same time as your mac.
    Last year I didn't know the difference so I didn't buy Applecare uplift for my Macbook, but wish I had. You should buy it because after your phone support expires, the only way Apple will fix it if you take it to an official store, where with Applecare you can phone in for free and they collect your mac from you, fix it and return it to you for free.
    e.g I had a faulty battery during my one year free phone service. I called them up and they sent me a new battery. If my phone service expired after one year, I would of had to bring my macbook to the store (calling them without phone support would cost like £35). Also you may need to make an appointment online before you can take your mac to the store.
    Macbook's Applecare cost roughly £52 if I remember, but Applecare for Macbooks to the public cost £200.
    If you buy Applecare the coverage is global, but the standard higher education warranty isn't I think.

  • Nokia 6700 navigation: What is for free, and what ...

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy a nokia 6700 classic and understand that free navigation is not available for this phone, and will not be available in the coming months as well.
    So I have tried to find out which is the navigation part that is for free, and which is the part you pay for, but have not been able to find that on this forum
    I want to use the GPS-function for the following purposes:
    - look up certain streets on the map (just like google maps on the internet)
    - find my current location on a map
    - track the route I walk/cycle, so that at home I can see where I have been.
    I will not use GPS to navigate me in a certain direction (turn left, turn right etc.)
    Do these functions come for free? Or do you have to pay for any access to the GPS function of your phone?
    Thanks,
    John

    1. Look up streets: should be free, it was free on maps 3.01 for s60
    2. Yes this one is also free AFAIK.
    3. Maps does not support this. This is done via Nokia Sport Tracker which is not available for your phone AFAIk.

    They announced it; sorry, no free Lion:
    "The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer.

  • Free Navigation for Nokia 6700 Classic

    Hi everyone,
    I notice the recent Nokia announcement that navigation is now free on all it's S60 based phones.
    However, I just purchased a new Nokia 6700 Classic (Which has built in A-GPS, Nokia Maps pre-loaded & full offline Australia maps), but it runs S40 Software.
    At the moment it appears Nokia still wants to charge me for turn-by-turn voice navigation. It seems a little unfair that the free navigation will only be offered on the S60 handsets when all Nokia have to do is send a free license code to S40 maps users to enable us to do the same.
    I'm currently using 'We-Travel' on my Nokia 6700 which is a free 'Offline' GPS application. I'd much prefer to use Nokia's own maps software for navigation, but it's too expensive.
    Does Nokia have any intention of making the free navigation available on the 6700 classic, or will users of non-S60 handsets still have to pay for this function?
    Thanks all.

  • When I try to open Safari I get error message: Safari - Alert    Suspicious Activity Might Have been Detected.  Major Security Issue  To fix it please call Support for Apple  1 800-680-4131 (Toll Free) immediately!

    Started to get pop ups when tried to open a video on face book. Directed for a download of MPlayerX-2.dmg and did attempt to install but never got video up/.

    You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • Modem 3G support for GSM free internet - HELP

    Hello
    I just received SIM card for free GSM internet access. This card has TS11 (Tele Service: Telephony) blocked and only BS 70 (Bearer Service number 70) enabled for data transmission.
    Because TS11 blocked Nokia Booklet modem is not registering to the gsm network, no signal strength is displayed. How to make internal modem working? 

    Hi,
    In order to convert the USB output of a mobile broadband modem to Ethernet, a special adapter (similar to this one) would be needed. Make sure that the USB modem in question is supported.
    A dedicated mobile broadband router (such as this, this or this), in a wired (LAN) combination with the AirPort Express, could possibly be another way.

  • Can't I get Xcode for leopord for free? or is there any other compiler which supports many languages?

    can't I get Xcode for leopord for free? or is there any other compiler which supports many languages?

    XCode is Apple's official SDE (as in Software Development Environment). It is meant to be used to develop all kinds of full-fledged applications, which are organized as projects. To use it that way, you run the main XCode front end, called appropriately enough Xcode. In the older versions of the product, prior to Lion's v4.3.x, everything was found inside the /Developer folder located at the root of the boot volume. (If you ever move on to Lion, XCode 4 is now an app found in the Applications folder and there is no longer a /Developer folder.)
    An alternate way to access the compilers is via command-line mode in Terminal, on traditional Unix fashion. After installing XCode, it will have set up the PATH variable to point to the appropriate directories so that gcc and its ilk are directly accessible. For instance (note that silverflash is the name of my Mac and my userid is macjuan):
    silverflash:~ macjuan$ which gcc
    /usr/bin/gcc
    silverflash:~ macjuan$ gcc -v

  • Support for 3Dconnexion Space Navigator

    Photoshop has had support for these devices for several years now. Panning and zooming in Illustrator is a real pain. Even Adobe Reader supports these devices.

    If you drag a supported file type onto the Acrobat 3D app (or use any other way to navigate to the file you want to convert to PDF) the "Acrobat 3D Conversion" dialog will be displayed. Check the "Add default views" box. This gives you all of the choices I think you may be looking for, including "Add from file".
