Pros: Bluetooth works Cons: MapsNo support Review: I have had the N500 since October 08 and have not been able to get any assistance from Nokia regarding the product.? The maps for the UAE that came with it are so out of date they are almost useless.? from Shopping.com No wonder it was on sale, the maps and POIs are way out of date and apparently Nokia has no plans to update them. Can't get contacts properly from Blackberry. from Tigerdirect.com I bought this product for $90 from eBay. I bought it hoping that it will live up to the standards set by Nokia Maps that I've used on my Nokia N75 phone. The only reason why I'm rating this product low is because it has 2007 maps and Nokia does not provide latest maps. from Amazon.com Summary: Many people complain about this GPS for little glitches it has, but if you forget the idea "you get what you pay for" for a moment and stop finding its flaws, it's really good GPS for the price. Decent map data, Free Traffic info, nice Blue-tooth functionality and maps of multiple countries are enough to make this GPS worth more than its price, let aside other tons of features that might have glitches because its the first of its kind from Nokia. First thing you would want to do to utilize this GPS fully, is to get an 8GB SDHC card (2GB card that comes with it has only 700MB remaining), so that you can install maps of more countries, MP3 songs and MP4 videos (and may be more software applications!). from Amazon.com I followed the instruction on the internet to use this one, not the manual! It works out OK for me even though I would love to have it my way a bit more. from Amazon.com This is a true quality product with exceptional range of built in options. I also own a Magellan that is a good product, but the Nokia outshines in performance, and ease of operation;not to mention that the learning curve is so short. I have not looked at the downloading of upgrades, but assume that that is also a relatively well planned procedure. from Amazon.com I was very excited when I get the product because the product's promises. MP3, MP4 player, Bluetooth, etc. None of those applications works like I expect. The music and video player has a mono sound and the navigation is poor. from Amazon.com The title says it all... If you are looking for a good GPS this is your product. If you are looking for features that is not included in the specs well look for a different one. This product from nokia is decent for everyday use, and the price is right of course. from Amazon.com Great product if your going to spend $100-150. Would be worth a lot more if the person who designed the nokia phones software designed this things software. If you like to fiddle with things then you won't mind this gps unit but if you are one of those people who need to hold somebody's hand when ever something new is in front of you then get something else. from Amazon.com I brought two of these Nokia 500 based solely on its technical merits and features. For that, it does an OK job. from Amazon.com
