There was an immeasurable distance between the quick and the dead: they did not seem to belong to the same species; and it was strange to think that but a little while before they had spoken and moved and eaten and laughed - W. Somerset Maugham

People leave Nokia!
While I still had a nokia N95, I'd bought an external GPS and was using that. The prices on these are coming down drastically. The cost for the external GPS with perpetually licensed maps of western europe was only about 70% of the cost of renewing my one year license to Nokia maps for a single country (UK). Add insult to injury when going to another country (FR), where I had to pay again to use navigation. Further, the screen was bigger than on the phone, and refreshed faster, and the software worked better.
Also, I've recently replaced my Nokia phone with a Google Nexus One.
So, Nokia, pay attention: Keep playing silly buggers with your pet navigation company, and you'll be the only kid left on the playground. Then, you'll only be able to play with yourself...and you'll only have yourself to blame.
Best of luck! (An ex-Nokia customer).
