For me (underlined, bold type) the N8 blew away anything Androidy I could have got, and at a lower price too. I like the navigation on it, but where I am right now (Vietnam) I'm yet to find a decent navigation solution.

It's worth noting the newest version of Ovi Maps only works on the latest touch screen phones. The older version e.g. on the E71 still does the job though.

Nokia bought Navteq for $8.1Bn.
