Yes, you read the title correctly folks, I have the new version of Ovi Map, Version 3.03 installed on my Nokia N86 8MP. After the press release and announcement event this morning, of the free navigation included with the new Ovi Maps, us N86 owners were left dejected after realising that our beloved devices had been left out in the cold by Nokia.
Well, I have some good news for you, I have just downloaded and installed the E52 version of Ovi Maps, available from http://maps.nokia.com/explore-services/ovi-maps and I can confirm it is working fine so far. You will need to download the actual SIS file, and not get the text message download or else it won’t work.
You do need at least 20MB free of internal memory on the C: though, so a good way of freeing up some valuable space, is to clear the cache in your browser, and uninstall any applications that you don’t use anymore.
I’ll report back if I find any problems soon.
Of course, don’t do this if you are worried of the consequences of it possibly bricking your phone, and also make sure you do a backup beforehand.
Let us know any feedback in the comments.
