There doesn't need to be.  Anyone who has been following the mobile geo
progress at all knew that it was based on the sender engine and runs only on
Win Mobile and there were never plans to release a Nokia ready version at
launch.  Whether it gets ported later I have no idea but there's really no
need.
    As a side note to this, get ready for Nokia to get off the simbien band
wagon at some point.  Through my consulting work I've heard through the
pipeline that Nokia is going to start looking at win mobile much more
closely.  Win mobile devices, especially the ones from HTC are starting to
make head way against the crackberries which is something the other hand set
providers really like and want to cash in on.  Win Mobile is also holding up
favorably against the IPhone in business circles as well.  I really strongly
think the over all market is going to settle out with three OS's.  Win
Mobile, Android and the IPhone.  RIM is not going to with stand companies
like Apple, Microsoft and most importantly Google.  Let's hope the adaptive
software companies realize this and move things like the KNFB reader on to
win mobile as well when the camera and image processing is there.  I'd hate
to see a huge segment of our community trapped in an under represented OS
again.  Go CF and Sender.;)  Oh and Nokia phones are ugly.  (just my
opinion)
