Yep, had the same message about licence already in use, as it has now made a record of my phone number, and is not able to re-issue the licence.

Had another reply from Nokia, when I replied saying " is a joke that you cannot help", and their reply was basically that they cannot re-issue and have sent feedback to the department dealing .... great huh .. lol

Why didn't someone say it takes over 6 hours to install???

Yeah it does take quite a while .. I think it is due to after the application has installed, the default is to download the entire map of europe, which is around 2.5Gb ... however, I hit cancel at that part .... then using map loader just downloaded the UK, which is 150Mb .. much quicker

HI there!
i have a question: how is the traffic info working? i mean from where the info is comming: via radio or Internet? should you be on line to get the traffic info about say a traffice jam? i am asking because internet outside the country you have subscription cost a lot of money (about 9 EURO/1MB)
(i have a dedicated navigation system and the traffic info is comming via radio - TMC)

FREE OVI MAPS 3.03 is a downgrade! do not install!

- Now we cannot search for addresses, neither typed or the ones already saved in our contacts... I do not want free, I want good! even if I need to pay.

Here my review:

Yes, sorry to say this Nokia people...
But I used to navigate and pay for the use of Ovi Maps 3.0 HAPPILY, and now I saw that with my E71 I was elegible for downloading ovi maps 3.03 free for life!
Well, I wouldn't bother to let all the licenses I paid go away, it is free for life time, right?
Well, the bad part just arrives! WIth ovi maps 3.0 I was able to search for adresses... yes I mean street name + street number, that easy. Now with Ovi Maps 3.03 you can only search for terms, and themes... like restaurants, movie theaters, gas stations... WHAT ABOUT my home? what about an office where I have a business meeting?
Nokia people: GIVE ME BACK MY 3.0 version, where can I find it? I do not want the new version even if it is for free, I prefer my pay version.
Thank you
