So far garmin just work fine in tube, no significant lag

I encountered this problem too..My alarm delayed for 3 minutes. This happened only after i updater to v30

Initially, I thought it was good. Recently my dad bought a Garmin Nuvi 205 (the most entry model). I used the Lite MFM on my Garmin Mobile XT and the Nuvi was running on full customisation with all the POI. The Nuvi 205 was much smoother and faster than the phone. So yea, after that Garmin XT felt a little slow for me, but works fine so far .

Time is accurate, just the alarm doesn't sound on time sometimes. I tried a few times, some are accurate, some delay a few minutes then only it sounds.

Anyone had any problems with Ringtones? For mine, I tend to gen default Nokia ringtones at times even though I set a particular ringtone for my contacts. It happens pretty often.

this usually happens when you're access memory card. say playing mp3 from memory card then suddenly got call. default tune will be use.

same thing happen to me
set the alarm at 7 am, then 7.05 - 7.10 only the alarm rings
in previous firmware, the alarm rings on time

Maybe the Nuvi hav a faster processor n a dedicated graphic hw?

just tested my phone. I set at 11am. It rang at 11am

V30 here

yes...some time it happens too...but is previous version or firmware...

No idea about the hardware, 333mhz if i recalled correctly. But then again, that is a dedicated GPS unit. What I want to highlight is that, the map refresh isn't exactly "smooth" for my Garmin XT on 5800. Its acceptable and probably performs well compared to other GPS phones. Wonder how the garmin perform like on N97 which has faster processor though.

Mine try set alarm @ 11.09am, it rang at 11.09am

just tested.

firmware V30

V30 as well, tested at 11:10AM just now. Was pefect, but somehow this morning's was late .

did u sleep walk? or having nightmares. Some people have reoccurring dreams

That's what I initially thought until I saw others facing this problem . Did some test runs, some affected some not.

don't mix up garmin nuvi with garmin mobile xt they are both different thing to begin with.

garmin mobile xt is running in symbian os while garmin nuvi is the os itself in the gps. 5800 main function is for call and sms and gps is just an add on. there are so so so many function in 5800 and dont expect it to respond fast like dedicated nuvi which purpose is for GPS only.

some ppl who might need to use it everyday might opt for a dedicated gps and for ppl who need it when it is needed, they got for phone with built in gps.

best example is ps2 / psp hardware isnt as fast/great as the pc u are using, but to run the emulator of it, u need a hardware 10times of psp/ps2. same concept applies for garmin~

absolutely Right

Is the nuvi you mention able to make phone calls, take photo, browse the internet, send sms?

ya me too.. but its good for u because still delay, my phone direct just keep silent..

How to customize my playlist? Can i change it manually like TTplayer? Choose song 1 by 1 makes it very difficult.
Let's say I have Classical music and Muse 5 album , both consist of 120++ songs each, how do i make it separate from the all song or make a playlist it self?

I knew everyone would mistake me as comparing them both and expect a GPS phone to work like a dedicated GPS unit ._.

Since firmware version 21 until latest version i always got 1 problem..when using wifi at home sometimes it will disconnect itself...any solution?

by the way if any user interested to this...
