Yeah...hopefully the black dont cost tat much

I'm going for the black if come out . The existing one will pass down to my wife

what ever you do dont get the samsung i550w for its gps guys. the 3mp camera on i550w also has a very slow interface when you try to shoot, it takes like a few seconds lag. aiyah the phone seriously disappointment. other the the free gifts it comes with, it sucks. if you looking for gps phone get n82 or n95 8 gig. remember nokia actually bought navteq (gps company) so ultimately they will offer better gps support in future compared to other phone companies.

Eh...dowan to join me for the N82 saga huh.

[Dwoon]

But then how I going to carry it along with me when I leave the car?????

 

Hello.... its portable lah.... then put the GPS into pedestrain mode if not using in vehicle. Its like the size of a PDA only........

[Freestylers09]

 

anyway thanks for the link

[Route88]

NP...maybe i share the link here

 

[Pisces69]

OK thanks for the info.

[Pisces69]

True but then I got another thing to put in my pocket.

 

If the phone has it, it wil b much easier to carry around with me all the time. Unless I use a waist pouch to put all my stuff in.

[Pisces69]

 

 

So the N95 is a better GPS?

 

I don't need all those other functions so I don't want to have to pay for them. All I need is a phone to make/receive calls & SMS'. It sud have good reception & battery can last long. Now wud like a GPS too which I can use in the car & carry in my pocket. All the other stuff I never use.

 

Well,N95 use to have a problem of fixing sat...but the new f/w got agps which aids sat. lock.

AGPS need to pay for gprs charges

 

No comment for N95 or N95 8gb since i dont like slider and dont use them.I'm using N82 w/o agps and the sat lock is

====================

 

Hmmmmm.......so many different comments. So 4 u the N82 is a good phone & a good GPS then?

[Pisces69]

I wud prefer the phone to come with all the necessary software. Installing additional software might void the warranty or worse, affect the other functions.

 

So the 1550w does not have a camera? That is a very useful function.

 

Soory my prev statement might confused u,but samseng i550w got a camera,loose to N82 cos samseng is 3 megapixel

======================

 

Oh. Then it's OK lah. As long got a camera that can use for emergency only. I don't take "upskirt" pics leh.

[Pisces69]

Yes its built-in but usage is chargable.

=====================

 

Huh???? U mean the samsung i550w has voice prompt but everytime I use it, I have to pay a charge????

 

So if I only use the GPS, then no charge?

[Pisces69]

Hi do you need to install other gps softwares for N82 or is the original nokia maps good enough? Need your advice as i've been thinking of getting this N82 but the colour, button's shape and reliability of the gps are keeping my purchase on hold.

Thanks.

 

Ya,if u can wait long long,wait for N82 black...very chio

Buttons are not tat bad...looks small but functional...you must try.

Nokia maps are ok,only tat you must pay after 3 months for the navigation and voice.

The renewal is quite expensive thus,some migrate to other gps soft like mapking or GMXT

=================

 

So it looks like this GPS phone thing is just a gimmick. Using it will mean additional charges later. What a crap. Lucky I checked with u guys b4 I bought the piece of 5hit. Another con job by SG companies to cheat the consumers. I see the TV ads like so good & easy to use. What a load of bull.

Ermm...i dont rep nokia nor supporter of them,but frankly...this phone is good,at least for me.

As a customer and user i find it to my expectation. So far the features is tho more improvement can be done like rds radio,optical zoom,better handsome design.

I think navigator 6110 no charge...only charge for map updates.

[Kb27]

Well, it's ok to me. I just want it to do gps navigation.

Not really interested in video or mp3 player.

[Multi]

For N6110,N82, N95 can load Garmin XT without getting charge by the Telco. It works using the inbuilt AGPS.

Thanks bro for the heads up.

[Jlkl]

Bro you mentioned that you dont need to wait long for your gps to get connected? Are you using Nokia original gps software or GMXT?

Read the review for N82 at gsmarena.com and it was mentioned that it took quite a while for the gps to be connected.
