Free Turn-by-Turn Navigation from Nokia

UPDATE 2: N97 support has been added.
UPDATE: N97 support will be added in a week.
After Google heating up the PND market by offering free navigation to DROID users, it seems Nokia will follow the suit too. Nokia’s official announcement is expected in an hour but a report from Reuters suggests that Nokia will offer free turn-by-turn navigation for about 74 countries in 46 languages.
To add more to this, Symbian-Guru claims, free navigation will initially be offered to few handsets like Nokia N97 Mini, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia E52, Nokia E55, Nokia E72, Nokia 5230, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6730 classic and Nokia X6. Yup, there’s no N97 in that list.
