Free (as in beer), voice guided navigation provided by Nokia via Ovi Maps is unrealistic. They invested a lot of money in Ovi Maps.

Google Maps on iPhone is much more than a simple application without routing. It actually _does_ support routing. I'm not sure about Google Maps for S60 (a Java ME application IIRC) though since I use Sygic there.

That is an interesting question. Check the binaries to see if it uses any dynamic libraries. The standard command is a script which executes the actual binary. Run ldd or file over them to check out. I thought it was all static, because its basically a S60 port.
