This is really wow !!!!!!!! whoever from Nokia watching this forum see this and we need more from you ........ This community is just awesome and still keeps this device alive and top of everything

Thanks Jaffa !!!!!!!

Works beatifically. So, the icon is just basically a bookmark ?

No, it's more than that. The desktop file calls /usr/bin/here-and-now, a script created by Andrew to work with Nokia's service.

I did also get "Location not detected" when I tried it on T-Mobile network.

After all this is basically similar app than Earthcomber? The exception is that Earthcomber uses GPS for location. Because of that reason the Here and Now likely is more battery friendly, if it worked...

It worked for me earlier at my home. But now I'm at my fiancee's apartment and it doesn't work (guess it has to do with Nokia's mapping of T-Mobile towers).

i also has the same issue. In my home it worked from one place and from another room it didn't work and shown " location not detected".

I started GPS Jinni and restarted Here and Now, it worked. Can be used as a temp solution until they fix it.

Not all towers in the US send back information in the same way for some reason...

I did something like this 4 or 5 years ago with a J2ME app. I used a standard query then parsed what returned to find the cell towers zip code. I then used that for simple location searches from a very infant Google at the time. I would think this app now uses the geo coordinates which also are reported.

The thing is, the zip code was not always in the same place in a string of returned information and as a result this approach was not very reliable in a small J2ME applet.

Perhaps this kind of thing is what is affecting this app in the USA. I would have hoped it would have been standardized by now.

BTW, sitting at home in Pennsylvania it was very fast. I'll be on the road toward Albany, NY tomorrow and will give it a go along the way.

It worked for me with a Go Phone SIM in the SF Bay area.

Everything was within a couple of miles, but this area is pretty dense.

I also get a Location not detected in our London office. I wonder if there's some portion of the cid that is required in the URL (say via a bitmask).

Need a device with Nokia's Here and Now client at the same location. Something to test tomorrow (if I remember).

And to balance matters out, Here and Now does succeed from my office. If there's anything I can do to help troubleshoot--running a custom, log-generating script in both locations or whatnot--please let me know, Jaffa.
