    I’ve had my 5800 for a few months now and I really enjoy both the device and Ovi Maps. With talk of a lifetime license, I’m curious as to whether current 5800 owners will be able to buy into this option. As I don’t use the driving navigation all that often, the current pricing schemes don’t make much sense for me; however, if the price were right a lifetime license could be more attractive.
