Categories: News

At the Nokia World event in Barcelona, Spain, Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N97. Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5″ touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an “always open” window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations.

Nokia’s flagship Nseries device introduces leading technology – including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection speeds – for people to create a personal Internet and share their “social location”. The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of “social location”. With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, it intuitively understands where it is.

The N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their “status” and share their “social location” as well as related pictures or videos. The home screen of the Nokia N97 mobile computer features the people, content and media that matter the most. Friends, social networks and news are available by simply touching the home screen. The 16:9 widescreen display (640×360 pixels) can be fully personalized with frequently updated widgets of favorite web services and social networking sites. The N97 is also perfectly suited for browsing the web, streaming Flash videos or playing games. Both the physical QWERTY and virtual touch input ensure efficiency in blogging, chatting, posting, sending texts or emailing.

The N97 supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more. This is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days. The N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss Tessar optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN. Based on the S60 5th Edition platform, the N97 measures 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm and weighs 150 g. Available ports include TV Out via standard 3.5 mm audio jack.

The phone provides access to world-class game titles with its N-Gage support. The BL-4C (1500 mAh) battery provides about 400 hours of standby time, 320-400 (3G/GSM) hours of talk time, 4.5 hours of video playback and over 37 hours of audio playback. The Nokia N97 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 550 before taxes or subsidies.

Malsing Map

Malfreemap
First you go to: http://malfreemaps.com/viewforum.php?f=23
then find the thread: Free Malaysia & Singapore GPS Map: MFM v1.74 (07/09/2009) currently the latest, download it (37.4MB) to your computer.
While you are downloading and feel boring, visit this site and follow the guides to setup your map: http://malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=662
Basically, what need to do with the downloaded file is:
* Double-click and it will extract all the map data to your computer hard disk (Default is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps)
* It then ask "Do you wish to create a gmapsupp.img?" (this is the file you will need to put into your phone's Garmin folder, so click [ Yes ])
* Regarding which option to choose while creating your map, the page above explain everything quite detailed, so read and look at the images there
* After it finish compiled the gmapsupp.img on your computer's hard disk (default is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps), you need to copy this file (5xMB-6xMB depends on features you choose) to your phone's Garmin folder.
That's all, when you launch Garmin, you will see the perfect map... rclxm9.gif
Note: When MFMv174.exe finished extracting the data and about to start the map creation step, my Anti Virus blocked the action due to it's behavior (try to trigger launch another file?).
So, temporary disable your Anti Virus before launching MFMv174.exe. posted by G K Lai

Which map is better is up to the user's own opinion. Below are some facts that will help you judge. Comparison is based on MFM v1.45 vs MSM v2.30b.

* For Perlis, Kedah and Penang, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Perak, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, MFM has more details than MSM as MSM is still using old maps from MFM mappers.
* For Negeri Sembilan, MFM has more details than MSM especially at Seremban and vicinity
* For Melaka, MFM has as much details as MSM in Melaka town. MFM is more up to date but may not have as many POIs. For smaller towns such as Masjid Tanah, MFM has more details.
* For Johor, MFM has as much details as MSM except in Batu Pahat. MSM has better coverage for Batu Pahat. MFM has more details for Segamat, Kluang, Muar and Ayer Hitam.
* For Sabah and Sarawak, MFM has less details and coverage than MSM. MFM's focus is on major town centres.
* For Singapore, MFM has less POIs than MSM.

1. Download the latest MFM/MSM map from previous Q&A
2. Install the map to your PC
3. Copy the .img file to replace the existing one it your garmin folder

p/s: Maybe you can back up the existing map in other folder first , coz latest one may causing some issue so can copy back
