Search by Voice on Google Maps 4.1 for Windows Mobile and Symbian S60
A new version of Google Maps 4.1 for Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 smartphones adds the ability to search via voice.

I noticed it supports several different English accents as well as Mandarin Chinese, which will definitely come in handy.
To get started, visit m.google.com/maps using your phone’s default web browser.
