Samsung Will Have Navteq map data

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Colm

It looks like Samsung will be using Nokia’s Navteq maps on some of their up and coming handsets in the next year.

Navteq was acquired by Nokia in 2008 for $8.1 billion and is used by many big companies like Garmin, BMW and Yahoo.

We believe that the first phone that Samsung will be distributing with Nokia’s Navteq maps will be the Omnia HD i8910. The phone is based on the Symbian operating system and comes with Wi Fi, Bluetooth v2.0, DNSe 2.0 and 3.5 mm audio jack.

The phone also has an 8 megapixel camera with face, smile and blink detection. It comes with a accelerometer sensor which we know is great for playing games. But, will also be ideal for looking at maps to help guide you.
