sorry late reply...lil bit bz for the past few day...

just tested my E72 with garmin 5.00.60 (TW) for long distance nav this morning.. from shah alam till putrajaya...

before this just try short distance nav... no problem at all.

but for long distance.... the map hang/does not functioning after 5> min... BUT the voice and directional nav still functioning as normal.

i think what jackyap84 said about 3D thing can be true... i just change to north up orientation... but not tested yet... will update to u all latter

It's true. Just tested my garmin in 2D mode. Didn't crash at all. Garmin did exit once after a long while but at least it is usable.

Why are you guys using the 3D mode? It's the most confusing mode of all. It's practically unusable for me.

this morning tried 5.00.50 with 3D mode, working fine for about 5 minutes then i arrive at office d. but with the 3D mode, the garmin is somehow responding very slow especially when try to exit.

later will try with the 2D mode and see if better.

lets get garmin work on our E72...rock E72~!

hahah... it's by default... i always play with default 1st(hehehehehe)... if doesn't work or everything is OK... only after that i start tweaking and changing what eve it can... hehehehe

guys.. the usb cable that is included in the box is really the short one ar?

yup really2 short..

yes it memang that short one...so call easier for you to carry around since our phone can USB charge by using that cable. but not convinience if you are trying to connect to workstation for data transer, need the USB extend cable most of the time, because you don't want to see your E72 "sleeping" on the floor or hanging behind your PC tower casing.

Hi guys how the picture quality with this phone?Can someone take a pic with his/hers e72 can show?And the battery life can really last 1 week?

for average usage... YES it can last 1 week...

i tried on 2D mode with "north up" and "track up", both mode so far running stable, sometimes will quit the garmin itself for long period (abt 30 minutes). at least now the garmin able to run compare in 3D mode which hang or crash abt 5 minutes.

Added on December 9, 2009, 9:12 pmmbek, tested with "north up" mode and "track up" mode. both running ok, but sometimes the garmin will quite after long period, say abt 30 minutes. at least now better than in 3D mode which hang oftenly. i prefer garmin in "track up" mode coz the "north up" mode keep direct to north.

Just now tried 2D mode (north), working fine, but sometime the software will slow in respond, but overall is acceptable. why can't use the 3D mode? is it due to the software issue or hardware issue neh? E72 not performaning enough on 3D display?lolz...

anyway, here is some sample snap shot by using my E72...

Not bad for a handphone...the image is good specially the macro shot....

Hopefully garmin will release a dedicated version for e72. we are temporary using 2D mode, better than nothing right?

at the moment, i facing another problem. my e72 cant read and write chinese. i cant type chinese sms, cant read chinese sms, cant surf chinese websites. anyone know how to solve it?

ur E72 is AP or Ori? I think your current firmware is not support chinese language, you need to flash it to the firmware whereby can support chinese.

One thing I noticed about my garmin is that is refreshes quite slow in terms of the speedometer. It goes to zero quite often and it lags quite badly at times. Is it because of the map or it's just the phone?

If you need accuracy get a proper GPS.
