Now have Black update and imported 'sounds' now go into a 'Custom' section so I have transferred my preferred alert into my Text/IM folder. Sanity restored. Regards

Many thanks. I spoke with Nokia today and they confirmed that with Amber you can only use the tones from the preloaded selection for TEXT/IM, Email & voicemail. Also that the Black update will be available for Amber versions - guess we will just have to wait! Regards

In Here Drive Navigation, you are supposed to have turn by turn voice guidance. I have all the 'settings' correct to give me this, but after the initial instruction on starting the journey there is no further turn by turn voice guidance given. Sorry for the confusion - I missed out 'no'.

I have checked that the voice has been selected for 'voice guided directions', but after the initial 'turn right at .......' there are is more voice guidance throughout the whole journey. The mapping seems to be perfectly OK but looking at the map too often is distracting. Any ideas
