me no problem in using build in GPS...
however..it is hard to get signal during a very clowdy day like today(in KL town area)....

my questions now.. does the clowdy/rain situation also affect other gps phone and gps gadget like Garmin nuvi???

yes.. gps requires direct line of sight to the satelite... u will have all the same problem like ur astro.

same like astro, using satelite, signal hard to get through thick cloud

how come whenever i wan to install new themes, my 5800 will tell me that the themes are not suitable for my 5800.. when i tried to use it, it really like gt prob.. so far i have found many new 5th ed themes but there is none of them i can use =(

it that case....in urgent basis... still need to activate a-gps loh...

astro better abit coz still working when its very clowdy... i guess they have a stronger signal that can penetrate cloud but sucks when its raining...

Wanna ask 5800 users here... is this phone a value buy for the price? Cause I'm planning to switch my phone..

YES!!!if u ask all the users here,im sure they would agree..this phone has all the functions with an affordable price..must get

The speaker, screen, everything is nice? E.g. will the sound go like.. cracking when it is too loud ? Haha.. sorry if I sounded like a noob . Rarely update myself about phones.. cause every time also no money to buy.

There's lots of info about this phone at the front page..even the speaker comparison with other phones..but for me the speaker is superb..after all it is a XpressMusic phone..it doesn't crack even if u set to max volume..what do u mean about the screen?this phone is very touch responsive..very nice phone i would say

Speaker is loud and nice. Crackling noises would most probably depend on the quality of your audio anyway

As for GPS, my log says it uses 1-3kB on 3G service. That's normal right since garmin locks on to a-gps?

Hmm.. quite interested in this phone.. reading reviews on 5800 XM vs Iphone 3G...
No idea why all my friend so dislike this phone..

reading is not enough, you must play with it

frankly speaking the reason would be because of its condition which is quite too plastic for a smartphone, not to mention the light issue (refer to first-first post.. somewhere there got a lot of issues which i think was resovled in the newer batch)

so guys..the gps on this phone can only be used on 3G? Thinking of buying this phone so wanna find out as much information as possible..thanks in advanced...

Your question dont make sense....

Sorry...i'll ask again..Can I use wifi to access the GPS on this phone or can the gps only be used when i have 3g because i am using Digi so if 3g is needed i cannot use the GPS function on this phone...

i hav no idea how u access ur phone gps thru wifi...

but you dont need 3g to use the gps if u use garmin...

let me guess.. u nvr own a gps before rite?

You lend me to play yours?

u can try playing with those hp at phone shop? or ask ur fren to pinjam u theirs?

my college have tons of ppl using tube... so that shows the tube popularity...
