      Why don't you just buy Nokia Lumia 920. You can also use the maps offline. ;)

                  Unfortunately when Apple sues everyone and plays godlike role, when they start depend on other parties, it will not bring them much success.

                  Samsung should stop developing anything for iStealers.

                                        Human makes mistake and he learns from mistake and make the product better.

                                        This is what Apple does.

                                        I believe Apple map very soon will be more superior than Google map.
