TomTom - Nokia 6680 vs N95

[niposs]

nokia 6680 doesnt have an internat gps.

[damphier14]

i'd crash watching the n95

[CiTyBoYY4J7812]

ive got the nokia 5230 touch and its so sick u get a free sat nav maps with the phone so you can choose it 4 walk or drive its so sick lol my vote is 6680 because its goes quite good then the n95 

[AndrymanKirpi4]

I'm using Garmin XT оn my n95. It works well. And i dount have these much lags as yours!

[ceberus1992able]

Does anybody know the ringtone on the Nokia 6680 that sounds like a jazzy gramophone with possibly a sax over it, it last like 10 seconds. if you kno that would be very helpful. strange qustion yes, but i have my reasons :) thnks

[arielcosep]

what is the name of that application please

[Usuotis]

@arielcosep jeez, cant u read the damn title?

[tarekh020]

6680 Is very hard worker phone

[obaidullakhan]

i have the 6680 phone

[lindscol]

hell, your N95 lags really badly... my Telstra one is awesomely good and had it over a year...

[miciok94]

This is not realy!! I have N95 and TomTom and i haven't that bigest lags. Sorry, my bad english.

[Platineagle]

Nokia 6680 is the best nokia cell phone ever

[ochugledat]

@Platineagle

If that phone SURVIVED 4 LONG YEARS WITH ME, trust me it' s the bes f*cking phone EVER invented!

[cute8511]

N95 would be greater than 6680!!and there's a big difference between each phone!!!

[VidyIsOn]

N95 is only Great for a Year until it Breaks Down.

[VidyIsOn]

Nokia 6680 is a great phone, I've had this phone for years & its Still Working, As for N95 i have had three of them in a Year & they have all Got Faults. Nokia 6680 Rocks.

[simoncsabajanos]

6680 is the best i like it vvvv much!!!

Try it!!!

[wankelro80]

Will TT6 work on a HP ipaq 614c?

[Lovigee]

N95 egy szar. senki ne vegyen

[2600i]

lol i have nokia 6680

[ahanash]

I think a real GPS trip test renders a better comparison...

[TUGA778]

N95 is much better than all mobile phones!!!!!!!!!!!

[gino3500]

how do I install the tom tom on my phone nokia 6680?

know someone tell me?

[Sentineltiger]

Ahh that's wrong how can it be ? Nokia 6680 cannot be faster than n95.On the otherhand can 6680 use gps ?

[Turbo2200kBps]

This is demo, so you don't need GPS signal available, and 6680 can use bluetooth external module.

[krzychoxDDD]

6680 RLZ!!

[s4iko1337]

i dont understand why its smoother on 6680.

i had this phon one time and it was sooooooooooo slow in everything.

n95 is much faster!

maybe its because tomtom dont uses the graphics hardware acceleration of the n95 ?

[djspark972]

Still have my 6680 with TT5 : great combo ! Now looking for a N73 (hate the N95).

[disbela1]

Thank you Matthew. Very interesting and very helpful.

[ploD1]

How to install that software into mobile phone,i have TomTom on the computer but don't know how to install into phone,can someone explain that...Thanks:))

[disclaimer321]

you could simply transfer it via bluetooth or via USB port from your PC to your cellphone just copy and paste the application to the cellphone directory found on "mycomputer". np =P

[scottishknackers]

ok nice video, i just got a n95 8gig, what version of tomtom do i need coz the pre-installed map crap that came with it is shite

[matthewrleech]

TomTom v6.020

Western & Central Europe Map v675.1409

[GladiatorFG]

I have 6680 and many time is slow.

If n95 is slover than 6680...i think that is not convenient carghe tomtom

[DiMoN1]

Hey cool video! Do you know if TomTom will work with Nokia 7500 PRISM?? Its a pretty new phone..came out in August of 2007..

[LandmarkWeddings]

if your new phone is running symbian 6v2 or 6v3 then yes it will work.

[soner77777]

6680 is good!!!

[ne0n890]

SOOOOOO fake!

[matthewrleech]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...try reading previous posts and watching the follow-up video before making daft comments.

[wj0102]

Dang! This is fake, my N95 works smooth.......

[matthewrleech]

wj0102, try reading previous posts and watching the follow-up video before making daft comments.

I'll still bet your N95 isn't as smooth as the 6680.

[fahim1985]

what version are you usinf on your n95 is it tomtom 5??

[matthewrleech]

No, version 5 is not available for S60 3rd edition.

I'm running TomTom v6.020.

Please read description and previous posts.

[djslexor]

My father has V5 and he has some optimisation phone tools so the gps works smoother on 6680

[KAL1982]

You CAN use tomtom 6.02 on the n95 i hav had no problems whatsoever with tomtom 6.02 only thing is u need an external gps reciever. I am usin a 4gb micro sd card? did u install the sis file to ur phone memory or ur memory card? The N95 is a good phone bar the fact it does crash every now and then. But im happy with it

[matthewrleech]

Who said that 6.02 would not work on the N95?

[dtrmad2004]

It would be a more fair comparison to have TT 5 running on both.

I have a medion satnav with TT5 and the instructtion I got for that said not to install TT6 on it or it will run slow.

Have you tried TT 5 on the n95?

[matthewrleech]

TomTom 5 is not available for Symbian 6v3 (N95), and TomTom 6 is not available for Symbian 6v2 (6680), so this is as fair a comparison as we can get.

[dtrmad2004]

Ahh ok, I didnt have my N95 then so didnt understand fully. ive now found out that you need external gps for them too :-(

[jarochomty]

N95 sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewrleech]

It certainly sucks in this video but I have commented that by removing POIs the performance improves, unfortunately not to the 6680 standard but it is acceptable. I now use my N95 over my 6680 for TomTom all the time.

[gaviscon999]

i have just got tom tom navigator 6 for the n 95 and i'm struggling to figure out how you get a connection to the gps, how do you do it?

[matthewrleech]

Are you struggling to connect to an external GPS receiver using a Bluetooth connection, or are you struggling to connect to the N95's Internal GPS receiver?

If you are trying to do the latter (internal GPS) then forget it until a new version of TomTom is available as the N95's internal GPS receiver is not supported in TomTom 6.020 and earlier versions.

[einnodgarma]

im planning to buy either a NOKIA 6680 or a NOKIA 5300... of course, the 6680 is better, but they say it sucks.. it freeze often or reboots often.. is this true?

[matthewrleech]

I was very happy with my 6680 for two years but it did occasionally reboot when I was running TomTom and somebody called me. Not only did I miss the call but I also got lost!

[cammydude144]

i had the nokia 6680 and it turned off and freezed constantly plus one day i turned it on and said it failed to boot i was so annoyed it was a great phone:(

[ballebanan]

Been using my 6680 since june 2005, and it's always worked great.

[einnodgarma]

BOARING???? dumb ass!

[dolomite51]

wow...I'm currently using a 6682, didn't know GPS software worked so well with it. Wait a minute, the US version doesn't have 3G so will this run slow then?

[LandmarkTheatre]

TomTom has all the maps preloaded so the only thing you'll need network access for is traffic updates.

[noizz]

I have to say that I'm really unpleasantly surprised about the n95 performance with tomtom, as it was going to be my next phone. I'm used to tomtom 5 on 6680 and it really works well on the phone, shame it isn't the case on n95.

To be honest - I had huge performance issues with TT5 on 6680 after uploading Speed Camera POI-s, but after opening it with some poi editor and saving back it runned smooth again.

[killer576]

??? I think tomtom "optimazation" not so good on N95 thats all... N95 is very fast, include 300 Mhz processor , try run Nokia N95 navigation on 6680 dude...

[pardonator]

Hmmm weird. I no longer have my N95, sold it because the battery life was rubbish. I'm getting another though as I've found a double capacity battery now.

When I had tomtom running though it was far faster then that. Not as quick as the 6680 but very useable. Could it possibly be the memory card? Did you try formatting the card through the phone?

[matthewrleech]

Double capacity battery? Where?

[blacklanton]

its a good thing i got a 6680 :>

[omfgwtf2k9]

Hey mate i noticed this too, my 6630 is WAY faster and accurate then the n95. Fingers crossed TomTom will do update to sort this issue and maybe internal GPS.

And to the guy who made the stupid comment, are you retarded?

[matthewrleech]

Thank you bellendbellend for your insightful comment. I'm curious, how did you come across this video? Did you search for "tomtom n95" or "how to aveliate boring bum sex"?

[Postghost]

LMFAO =D

[matthewrleech]

After extensive testing, I have discovered...

(I'm not claiming to be the first person to discover this, it's just that I've never come across this suggestion when looking for N80/N95 TomTom performance tips, but I'm sure this one is out there)

...that removing all POIs from your current map improves performance to a usable level, approx 5 frames per second. So for all of you who do not rely on speed camera warnings (blast!), here's the short-term answer.

[xdir]

Are you using the internal GPS or bluetooth? Its possible that TomTom is hogging the resources on the phone making it difficult to switch between the GPs/BLuetooth(Navigation) and TomTom processes - Its probably a Bad app, I will wait for TomTom to bring out an official N95 version before investing in this fone

[matthewrleech]

The N95 does not yet recognise the built-in GPS.

It runs badly during real navigation using the bluetooth receiver and also during the demo navigation with bluetooth switched off.

I don't think that resources are being hogged, but I do agree about it being a bad app. I've read on other forums that a new release will be made available that is N95 compliant. Hopefully that means fast, portrait/landscape switchable while running, uses built-in GPS, menu options in the right place, etc.

[LandmarkTheatre]

I asked TomTom why the N95/N80 was poor compared to the 6680. Their response:

The answer is rather simple. The N95 is not a compatable product. Navigator 6 has not been tested to work with the N95 unit and this is why the performance seems so poor.

On the other hand, the N80 is compatable and performance on that device should be of a high standard. If you are having problems on the N80 then please provide us with similar footage and we can further investigate your problem.

[mg428]

1) How does Nokia Maps work on your N95? Does it work like your 6680? In fact, as you may know Nokia Maps is beta now and final version is going to be released soon.

2) I know it may sound ridiculous but if you really navigate instead of simulating, it may work properly (1% or so)

[LandmarkTheatre]

1) Nokia Maps runs extremely well, i.e. fast and a smooth frame rate. Google's MGMaps also runs fast and smooth.

2) The N95 runs just as badly during navigation as during the demo route, but have you ever tried filming two phones while driving?

However, see my next message...

[PiXistenZ]

damn this is bad news, cause i was planning on running Tomtom on my N95 as soon as the internal GPS was being recognized by Tomtom.... i hope a solution for both problems (internal GPS and performance) is coming soon!

[matthewrleech]

Performance can be improved by removing all POIs. Read my reply to the first comment in this thread.

[matthewrleech]

No funny business going on here, I honestly wanted the N95 to perform well.

Please read the video description for more info.

If anybody has a suggestion for improving TomTom's performance on the N95, do tell!

Note that no other apps were running.

Phone was in 'offline' mode.

Fast memory card in use (Sandisk Ultra II).

It was even muted, the sound is coming from the 6680.

[cjnewman]

Thank you! That is awful performance on the part of the N95

[matthewrleech]

It's only fair that I enter a follow-up comment here:

Take a look at youtube. com/watch?v=WSiADOfoPro

I found that by removing ALL POIs from the TomTom map the N95 version runs better, but still nowhere near as well as the 6680 version.
