Released version of Ovi Maps works fine on my E71X. After upgrading to this beta version, I get a message stating that "my hardware is not supported". Had to revert to released version after which I'm back in buisness.

The E71x is a S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 phone ( http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/E71x )and therefor will not run the version of OVI Mpas BETA for mobile discussed in this forum as the OVI Maps BETA for mobile page does state:

* Nokia N97
* Nokia N97 mini
* Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition

http://betalabs.nokia.com/betas/view/ovi-maps
What version of OVI Maps have you tried to install?
The E71x does not presently have a newer BETA version than the release version on http://www.nokia.com/maps
I beleive the S60v3 version of OVI Maps graduated a few months ago.

I read some more and you are correct.
I presently have 3.01(17) running fine with both American and Europe maps loaded. BTW, I noticed your UK address. I travel to Cambridge 1/2 time; work-related.
The Beta version was as I recall 3.0.3???

Thu, 2009-10-22 04:05 mertyl: works on my E71x, sort of The beta worked on my E71x, as does 3.01 09 which I have currently running, with some caveats.
- licensing in the US is odd, to say the least (search "conspiracy")
- 'going online' is open to interpretation. I'm still not sure how Nokia interprets the term on the E71x, but it apparently has nothing to do with a wifi connection in the background, no matter what the 'network destination' is set for in settings. For those of us not running a data plan (shhhh, don't tell you know who) that's unfortunate for syncing, licensing, shopping, etc.
still, its a very nice, simple app that provides tremendous info. I'm looking forward to it helping get around Paris and London in a week.

Fri, 2009-10-23 14:21 yannve: ah yes, "graduated" Yes, Maps 3 "graduated" a while ago. With marvelous features such as the much announced 3D models disappearing (worked before graduation), coordinate entry field broken, categories and landmark icons broken, and so on. This beta is apparently for revision 5 devices only (touchscreen), and I'm led to believe there won't ever be another version functioning as well as version 2 used to...
