Feedback from the trials is being incorporated into the final product (Virtual Guide), which is being launched to coincide with the MLearn Conference in Melboune this October. There also be a new RFID product for educational purposes launched there as well. You'll be able to have a play with both apps there if you can make it to the conference. Regards, Daniel Hi fellas,

On the 6110 Navigator, the voice guidance is free and unlimited, but getting additional or updated maps costs money (maps are free on the N95). The 6110N comes with free maps for the world in general (low detail), Australia (detailed) and Sydney (highly detailed). The 6110N has a faster processor than the N95 (369MHz processor compared with the N95's 330MHz) and better battery life (up to 11 days, according to Nokia). The N95 has a larger screen and internal memory (though this seems immaterial as the memory in both can be boosted with micro-SDHC cards, currently available in a capacity of 4GB in Australia). Both really good phones, but what ultimately convinced me was that the 6110N was *free* (when I renewed my contract with Optus). Considering it's a pretty much state-of-the-art handset, that seemed like a pretty good deal. :) Hi Alex,

I presume the Nokia N95 has the same ? Nice application. I presume the Nokia N95 has the same ?
