Confirmed - spoken street names in Nokia Drive

[ImmortalWarrior]

Well gents, after calling several stores in Kitchener/Waterloo I finally tracked down 2 Lumia 920s. The only two they had at the Rogers store in Fairview mall. So, good news is that they are coming, bad news is that you will probably have to call a few stores every day or so to track one down.

Anyways, I've been checking some of the features and I was able to confirm that Nokia Drive Beta has spoken street names now. I tested it and it works, it now says "In 70 meters, turn right on [streetname]". You have to select the voice with the spoken street names caption.

I don't know if this was explicitly discovered before, but I thought I would mention it anyways.

So you can have them spoken with a British accent?

You certainly can. I was using the North American female voice because, if I recall correctly, it wasn't present on my 900.
