I have followed NOK since their glory days, and your mention of Navteq brought back some memories. NOK paid 8.1 billion for that company... About what NOK itself was worth a couple short months ago... Regards, John

He said that Naviteq is one of the few subsidiaries of Nokia that is being aggressively funded by Nokia. Unfortunately, a private company, so no way for us to make bucks off that, apart from NOK. :-( Doesn't surprise me: Nokia has - by far - the best phone maps I have EVER seen, for free. Unreal. Adore that feature on my Nokia 808 PureView. The maps reside on the phone, and work via GPS only, when that's all that is available. Absolutely SUPERB! The other very interesting part of Nokia's portfolio is Scalado. I fully understand why Elop went full tilt in that direction, while on the same day he fired 10K employees: I bought thier $1.99 app for panoramas for my Nokia 808 PureView, so I know know the value of Scalado, first hand.
