Hello,

Can someone please tell me the price for Standard and Premium licenses? Or if you don't know, can you please PM me some contact details on where I can find this information? I have been sending multiple emails for over a week to specified contact address locationapi@nokia.com without a single reply.

Just a quick reply to say I have notified the team responsible and they will be getting in contact shortly. locationapi@nokia.com is the correct eMail to contact for this. Thank you for your patience.

Hi,

I appreciate quick answer and help but still nothing after 24h. Its shame really because Nokia maps look great compared to competitors, but if getting a license is THIS difficult then our company really need to think this over again...

Look, this situation is pathetic and truly a disgrace for Nokia. For 2 weeks I have been trying to get an answer to my original simple question: What is the cost for Standard and Premium license?

During these 2 weeks I have sent 8 emails to locationapi@nokia.com, wrote to this discussion board, sent private messages to this discussion boards admins, twitter message to Nokia Developers twitter account and I even phoned Nokia support where young lady had no idea what I was talking about but promised to ask around and call me back (this was over week ago). Besides this thread, I have gotten zero(0) responses. Not even one response.

Our company was planning to build a website using Nokia Maps for a very very large customer, but this plan is about to go right out of the window because this lack of customer support. This is just plain weird that Nokia won't even bother to reply to it's customer's requests. Btw. We also made enquiries to Google and Bing about the prices of their maps and we got response within few hours.

Apologies once again that this is taking so long. I can only agree with you that it is highly unsatisfactory that this breakdown in communications has occurred. I have recontacted the sales team about his, and sent you a PM with the contact details of a real live sales person. I hope this will result in a postive response to your question. Unfortunately my area of expertise is in the use and development of products using the APIs, and I have no details regarding the pricing structure itself.

I've never received any mails, they may have got trapped by a spam filter. Be sure to use my e-mail address in my signature or private message if you need anything else.
