Navizon on the 9300?

Does anyone have this application fully functional on the 9300?

I saw a posting at the AT&T Nokia Users Forum talking about this application and went to the website to see if it was compatible with the 9300.

Despite many other information on the site, you had to login with your phone to be able to download (i.e. assumed that it determined compatibility).

It turned out to be a Java application which installed to my 9300 without error.

When I run it, though it makes a data connection and then it doesn't ever seem to bring up a map or even an error message. The menus work, but the basic function never seems to happen.

It is supposed to use cell phone tower information, Wifi (if available) and GPS (if available) to give your location. It also is supposed to allow SMS messaging to respond with your information to your "Buddies".

I'd be interested if indeed it does work with the 9300 in the US.

After several days of trying and exchanging multiple messages with the developers on the Navizon Symbian Users Forum, it appears that they don't have a Symbian 80 version--only for Symbian 60.

Apparently you first have to load and install a .sis file which enables cell tower ID and the you load a Java applet which enables the mapping.

They only have the .sis file for Symbian 60 phones, despite them saying in an older thread on their Symbian forum that they would have one developed soon--the thread date was Oct. 2006.

Obviously not.
