N810: The GPS System May Not Be So Hot - Afterall

Freeman fished this article out from Arstechnica titled: Nokia N810: unboxing and first impressions.

Bad news:

• Free mapping software is disappointingly limited.
• Commercial mapping software (WayFinder) offers 36 months license. And it will be available this December
• Skype is inoperable.
• No FM radio
• No swiveling camera (for taking picture and video conference)

Unknown:

• GPS signal quality
• Power consumption with mapping software running.
  

The review of N800 cobbled GPS system itself is not very flattering. Now, should I march on with N810 or wait for the next generation of N800 with WiMax and GPS? I guess it depends on how expensive the WayFinder mapping software.
