Actually, Apple maintains same olde configuration, in other words, with an adapter, you can manually use their nano-SIM in Micro-SIM or mini-SIM phone sold today. But, both Nokia and the RIM took a different way. Approaching, the 4FF proposals from Apple’s competitors look more like microSD cards than present-day SIMs, which would presumably make it difficult or impossible to use an adapter to get them working with older phones.

Recently, Nokia confirmed that they wouldn’t need this proposal, unlike Apple’s, wouldn’t require any tray. The Symbian company also argues that Apple’s design could get stuck in a micro-SIM slot violating the following requirement for the standard:

The design of the fourth UICC form factor shall prevent the 4FF from becoming jammed in a Mini-UICC reader. An example is that if the 4FF is turned 90 degrees and it fits perfectly into the Mini-UICC reader (4FF length = Mini-UICC width).

While, Apple suggests that the nano-SIM should effectively be a micro-SIM stripped of virtually all its plastic. Nokia contends that Apple’s design violates that requirement, take a look at that:

“its nano-SIM is roughly 12mm long while the existing micro-SIM is 12mm wide, giving users the opportunity to jam a nano-SIM sideways into a micro-SIM slot and get it hopelessly stuck. It’s a scenario that the ETSI’s documentation specifically calls out.”

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute will make a decision on the standard at the Smart Card Platform Plenary meeting later this week. Apple has committed to grant royalty-free licenses if its nano-SIM standard is adopted.

It is unclear whether the consortium is proposing Nokia’s or RIM’s original design, though it’s a safe bet that Nokia threw its weight around in this relationship.

The launch of an iOS and Android-compatible version of Nokia’s mapping service known as Nokia Maps, the service which powers Nokia’s native mapping applications on its own devices, that haven’t launched arrived as a native iOS and Android app yet, however, with a HTML5-based web service now available at m.maps.nokia.com, so that you can access Nokia Maps via mobiles web browser.

Simply by pointing your mobile browser to the said link, the Nokia Maps service can be used on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or on Android handsets and the free navigation service serves you with directions on screen as well as audio direction. In addition to basic mapping, Nokia Maps provides navigation support, through separate sets of directions for those who are driving, walking or taking public transport.

While the multiple map viewing is also available in the online service, which includes a default map view showing streets and lebels, a satellite view, a public transportation view and even a live traffic view, which can help you better plan your route. Its not all, every application or hardware has good things as well as some bad ones.

This also has drawbacks, and what are they?

The Nokia Maps also providing audio directions, for that you have to wait while it downloads a 2 MB audio file to your iOS or Android device. While the mobile web apps are limited in terms of the background processing they can do, which could impact your ability to multitask during navigation.

But Nokia recently took a baby step on the road to recovery after it was announced recently that were the largest vendors of Windows Phone handsets in Q4 of 2011.
