Very nice video on this phone. On my website you can use mobile search find any deals or promotions on any phone. Just go to my profile to access my site.
not a very impressive looking satnav device. It's not very smooth. And it would appear you have to keep pressing the screen to stop it from blacking out, how inconvenient.
I expect more. This piece of kit is costing around £500, so I would expect it to perform at least as well as a £99 tomtom one device. Which it doesn't
You can set the phone not to power-save solving your problem. Failing that plug in the charger unit....it will then stay on till you tell it to go to sleep.
Just out of interest, have you seen a mobile phone yet which meets your standard? Not looking to debate, just looking for info as my standard is as high as yours! Thanks,
actually yes. I got an HTC touch diamond, went to XDA developer's website and installed the latest and fastest radio and ROM upgrades, then installed iGO 8 along with "quick GPS" (came with the ROM). It works flawlessly and I get a GPS lock within 20 seconds. The Diamond has an in built graphics card which helps. Battery is naff, but it lasts the day and I charge it at night. Plus batteries are cheap to replace (very cheap on ebay). Hard work (about a day's research needed) but worth it!
Did you not consider installing iGO 8 on the Omnia? I have also heard that Route66 can confirm a lock on your location within 10 seconds. The omnia also has a 624mhz CPU, which is faster than most other Pocket PC's.
I haven't actually used an omnia extensively, but from what I tested, it was quite slow and didn't make good use of the touch screen. My main concern is that the full potential of the device may never be found despite the impressive hardware features due to lack of ROM development to speed up the device. HTC have lots of people working on their ROMs whilst Samsung have been much slower in bringing out their software updates, which often turn out to be useless gimmicky add ons
phones4u has started offering it but says the it wouldn't come with the GPS app. Currently, Orange is the only operator in UK offering it but won't include free internet unless u buy £55/month tariff, how SAD!
At least in my country this Smarthphone comes with Route 66 navigation Software with Iberia Map (Portugal + Spain), which means you don't have to connect to the internet and download google map data in order to navigate (like in the Iphone).
And one more thing. Since this phone Operating System is Windows Mobile, you can purchase any software out there for PDA/Smartphones like TomTom, Navigon, Ndrive etc, and use it on this phone.
wow it seems that this has turn by turn directions with voice guiding, i wonder if it will recalculate if you go off course. i am trying to decide between this and the XPERIA
The Samsung i900 Omnia has in my opinion the better package as the I-phone! The I-phone is a good moblie, there is no doubt, but the price is high and you can't make videos with it.
For N95, you need to purchase the map and need to connect to internet. For i900 the map is offline (mean: the map is on the phone, dont need to download)
i900 GPS is total difference with N95 GPS. The map come free with phone, you just purchase the phone, dont need to buy map. And..depend on your country also.

GPS need to get data (MAP) to work.
Data can download from Server (internet, google, or what ever provider) or from inside the phone (Memory card, inside memory)
It is depend on your GPS program work
With Google Map, you need to connect to internet through wifi, 3G, EDGE..
In my case, Vietmap dont need connect to network.
