Nokia and Microsoft signed an agreement, in which Nokia would launch terminals with the Windows Phone 7 operating system. However, unlike the other manufacturers that have opted for this mobile platform, Nokia has the freedom to modify all the services at will, as well as to add new ones.
During the presentation of the new Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710, emphasis was also placed on the new services that the two terminals would offer and that will not be found in the rest of Microsoft's Windows Phone phones. Some of them are Nokia Maps with Nokia Drive or Nokia Music to listen to music from an extensive catalog.

However, Nokia has decided that Nokia Maps is available for all competing mobiles. And, therefore, it is possible to use the mapping of Espoo on phones like HTC Radar or Samsung Omnia W. However, there is also bad news. And it is that the voice navigation function or Nokia Drive as it was baptized, will be exclusive to Nokia terminals.
And it is that with Nokia Drive, the user will be able to use the geolocation functions without having to be connected to the Internet. That is, the maps will be downloaded to the mobile. And, as if it were a dedicated browser, the user will be able to navigate comfortably in any situation, especially in the car, where guided commands will also be received -by voice-. Meanwhile, Nokia Maps for the rest of the terminals of Microsoft's mobile platform will be free.
