This only happen in DiGI where if you enable voice mail and somebody call you, within 15 seconds you din pickup it will be going to voice mail. This is a problem with DiGi's configuration, many have reported.

For maxis even if you have voice mail turned on, it will still rang for around 40-50 seconds before it goes into voice mail.

I would judge a gps system by 2 attributes:
1. Completeness of map
2. How easy the interface to use

In iPhone we have following gps apps with malaysia map (Offline, that mean you don't need internet access to retrieve map):
Tomtom - 1. Not good 2. Quite ok
Papago - 1. Very good 2. Not good
Sygic - 1. Suck 2. SUcks
iGo my way - 1. Not good 2. Not good

So u can judge my view on the 2 attributes on all 4 apps above.

I would tell you that non of them can beat garmin mobile XT + nokia 5800 XM where the below rating i give:
Garmin mobile XT + 5800 - 1. Excellent 2. Excellent

Somemore in 5800 where the resolution is higher and you can view more there comparing to viewing in iPhone.

If you're changing to iPhone because of GPS software you will definitely regret. But if you're looking for something more, like the powerful of google online map and plenty of super apps on appstore then welcome to the world of iPhone.

if you jb ur phone, then u can ftp to a ringtone folder and you can use it right away. Else you have to purchase ringtone from itune and load it in.

thanks dude... yah i bought the iphone and did enjoy the google map and held on to my 5800 as a GPS unit until yetserday when someone offered me a good price for it .. haha.. so reluctantly i sold off my gps unit (5800). HOpeful that can find a similar or equal GPS apps on the iphone. Just read the Papago!IM6 Malaysia + Singapore Pro.. Seems they are using the Malfreemaps also. Wonder is that similar to the completeness in map like the GarminXT ?

Check out my rating for papago, 1. very good (Meaning it is same good as garmin one but the color thingy not so good as garmin mobile xt.
2. Not good (The reason is the interface really cannot beat garmin at all, it's a bit sucks)

Also some routing in papago is not "smart" enough comparing to garmin.

GARMIN the best bravo!!

Garmin don't want to be stupid anymore, u know many get GPS software illegally coz it's too expensive. Best solution is to buy garmin Nuvi series, using ur iphone as nagivator it drain ur batt alot and while u driving phone call come, you will miss some road.

iPhone best to use with google map where like if you're oversea u can search anything around u and move to there. Of course u need data access or wifi.

yah currently i'm using the google map as well since i'm on the Digi data package.. but sometimes we need the "voice navigation" so don't have to pay attention too much on the road maps.. esp while driving in a busy area ...
