Nokia’s Smart2Go is still not available

Your press release stated it would come out on Saturday. It is 08:15 Monday morning in Helsinki as I’m writing this.
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) plans to start offering the smart2go application for free, on Saturday, February 10th, for selected Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices initially and has plans to roll out support for most of the major mobile OS platforms including Nokia S60, Series 40, PocketPC, Linux and other Windows Mobile devices.
I’m not amused.
Sure this isn’t something I can use since I lack any sort of GPS equipment, but that isn’t the point. The point is you (Nokia) made a promise you couldn’t keep.
Why would you do such a thing?
I totally agree with you – this is really not on!
I have a Nokia GPS unit arriving today . . . I was hoping to get a review on the blog by tonight, oh well, let’s just hope that it’s just a small glitch and that they’ll have it available today, now that’s someone’s back in the office!!
Their mobilesearch website still says “Available as from Monday, 12th” under maps as well.

A promise they haven’t kept? Could that be like STUN support for the e60 and e70 by the end of 2006?
Well, now Monday is coming to an end and still no sign of it . . . Grrrr!!!
I downloaded the map loader on Saturday. But can’t use it as my device (E61) isn’t supported. It says I need to run the maps program first. I’m assuming that the maps program is some S60 program that has yet to be released.
