Nokia Drive, Nokia’s turn by turn GPS navigation solution for their Windows Phone 7.5 handsets is one of their crown jewels, and being exclusive to the system it is expected to sell their phones over their Windows Phone 7 competitors.

Now it appears pirate sites have managed to get their hands on the software and installed it on other Windows Phones.  With device unlocking now becoming much more available to thousands of people due to ChevronWP7, it is likely pirating software will become much more mainstream also, possibly negating differentiating via extra software, like Nokia has been.

Has Windows Phone 7 now lost its innocence? Let us know below.

Thanks Max for the tip.
