guys, where can i get the original handsfree for 5800xm cheaply, and how much? didnt have one when i bought mine 2nd hand. or u guys would suggest me using the usual mp3 player earphones instead?

by the way, i was just wondering about the difference between MFM's standard gmapsupp & gmapsupp lite and how big a difference can it be when used on our 5800xm.

i have been using the full version (3 updates so far) and apart from the laggy response while navigating, i find it ok to use. i have yet to use the lite version bcoz everytime i installed the lite version, my GMXT hangs more frequently, hence i reverted to using the full version (kept the full map in another folder, so i just moved back the gmapsupp to garmin folder to overwrite the lite version.).

i tried using Xploit Machine's version of Lite Garmin folder (Hey XM, if that GPX is correct, we know where you stay! harharhar!) which has the lite map ver. 100111 but the hang issue cropped up again so now i'm back to using the full map ver. 091221.

i'm thinking of putting in lite ver. 100125 but i dread of the hang issue again. is the improvement on using the lite version really so good that it is worth having hang kei issue over and over again?

nope, i usually straightaway download their ready-to-use gmapsupp.

that's good liao. mine drop all within 1.5 days if very little usage and not even a day if got use. i'll carry a spare batt (chappalang brand) together so when it's out of juice when i dont have access to a charger, i'll just swap it.

however, the battery consumption pattern are similar, takes some time to drop from the first bar, but after that it will drop very fast. weird eh?

do you guys think it's worth to buy new original battery? will the battery last? i think the price is RM150.00, but if in singapore should be able to get around RM70.00 after convert. or it's beeter i maintain 2 battery like now?

err.. the original is 1320mah, but since my original battery can only last less than a day with heavy usage (online only - using opera, and occasional youtube. no music, no wifi) how long do you think your battery will last after full charge with the same usage?

if you died, nokaia wont do anything.

if you kena burn kao-kao and have to stay in hospital, nokaia will send assasin and finish you off.

if you live to make big hoo-haa, nokaia say i will only replace battery for you bcoz our warranty covers the battery only.

LOL.


hehehee... i'll wait for soonlee's review and see how it goes.

zeero, cable is RM20 if i'm not mistaken.

zeero, rm20 is the price given by normal handphone shop... normal cable only ma... u buy ori and buy chappalang, it still works the same coz it's just wires soldered onto usb connectors, wrapped in plastics and rubber niah....

i am currently very tempted to buy a headphone for my tube... very hooked with the sound quality done by a headphone compared to the normal earphone... but i will look like an idiot wearing my headphones around...

imagine an uncle wearing a headphone walking around in lowyat....

tried that BH503 before... i still prefer a full ear cover headphone la. u guys try it out and you'll see the difference. especially whne watching a full movie (or an episode of anime la) with tube...

I've read articles that mentioned in-ear earphones will damage ears faster compared to using a headphone. U know la, uncle liao, every body part available need to take care not to over-use ma... Not like you youngsters can tahan. Uncle listen old song only, no need powerful bass, but something that sounds nice will do. Went to sony centre in BTS tried one noise-cancelling headphone, but the sound quality same with one normal headphone that sri comp is selling for rm45. I guess i'll get the cheaper one then.
