No, this software is only for windows mobile phones / PDAs, for nokia phones, there is an option of Mobile Speak + WayFinderAccess.
Unfortunately Sendero Group currently do not have maps for India, hope it should be available soon.

Very interesting. I guess it will give Talks + Wayfinder combo a strong competition. However, I am not seeing 2 important things here. 1. Compatibility with Nokia. 2. Data maps for India. I wonder if Mobile Geo would work with external Indian mapping information?
