In India the nuvifone M10 comes with preinstalled map data (provided by Nokia's wholly-owned subsidiary Navteq) for 62 of tthe country's largest cities and offers turn-by-turn voice guided navigation with junction view and lane assist. The added Ciao feature allows you to check the location of your traveling friends.
The specs sheet of nuvifone M10 includes a 600MHz CPU, 512MB of RAM memory, support for HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is also a 5-megapixel autofocus snapper as well as a 4GB internal storage on board.
