Steve takes delivery of one of the first MOBILE 5 kits off the production line and puts it through its paces. He's been trying it on a Nokia 6670 (Series 60) device, but there will be UIQ and Series 80 mini-reviews along shortly. In the meantime, you can see why he was so impressed here.

Excellent review again Steve, and have once again convinced me to convert. It is a shame that I will have to buy another GPS, but I am sure I can find a market for the old one 😮) I needed to upgrade anyway having just upgraded to a 9500. Looking forward to your s80 review.

So good you commented twice 8-))

I'll have the Series 80 version tomorrow, hopefully. Watch this space!

Just to say that I've now got a late beta of TomTom MOBILE for the Nokia 9500, but it's unstable. I'll give them another few days to fix the problem before weighing in with a review, I think.

i cant understand why the upgrade has been available for some time now but the full package is still not here.

Is there a problem with the GPS receiver or something?

Are you sure? The S80 version is brand, spanking new!! Previously MOBILE had just been Series 60.

lol. typical. It now says 'available from your local retailer' :-P

of course, none of the local retailers it refers to seem to be advertising it yet though 😞
