HERE Maps beta by Nokia now available for Samsung smartphones

here maps android
Nokia has released their HERE Maps, a clear competitor to Google Maps, for the Samsung smartphones on the Samsung Galaxy Apps Store today. The HERE Maps app is absolutely free for all the Samsung smartphone users.
The main advantage of HERE Maps over Google Maps is that HERE Maps allows its users to access maps offline, which implies no data connection required once you have downloaded the required maps. While Google Maps allows only some segments of its maps to be downloaded for offline usage, HERE took a step forward.
It is expected that Nokia would expand HERE Maps services

But if the phones differ in the sizes of SIM used, then the user have to contact a cell phone technician, to cut the big sized SIM card to micro SIM size, which will be done with the help of SIM cutter tool. This SIM resizing process has to be done in iPhone, Smart phones etc.. if the old SIM and new SIM are not in the same size. Although this SIM cutter tool is not costlier, it will not be in use regularly, Better get this work done by a cell phone technician.
