Hi sifus,

I have been reading this thread and saw some posting regarding choice of MicroSD cards....so, lately, any feedback from you guys....is Kingston or Sandisk better?

Should we buy MicroSD or MicroSDHC?

Thanks for advice
*
MicroSD only up to 2gb. MicroSDHC up to 32 gig if Im not mistaken. Depends on how much memory you plan to use.
The phone supports up to 32GB.

Only plan to use Maxis for a year anyway, since they made me give up my Unlimited data for the phone. After that bye2 Maxis.

1st month the data count as daily limit?!!!i m on 500mb per month!how to count?!

Just talked to maxis. Not daily limit. your plan divide the difference between your your statement date and your new plan date.

So for 3 gig, if you have around 10 days left before your bill date, for the first month your limit is around 1 gig.

so if i sign the plan on 10th of aug, when is my new plan date??i just take the data plan, coz im already a maxis user

Go see your bills. Theres a statement date there.

So lets say your statement date is 20th. So those 10 days, your date plan (500) / 30 * 10 (10 days difference). So you should not exceed 167 mb for your first month.

Can u pls explain 'map wont load'??

I hv been using Navit from the time i got SGS and is working fine once the GPS hardware got locks on the sats.

And i dare say, Navit is the best in the freeware market now as the map is only 49MB in size for entire Malaysia. And Navit is a OFFLINE navigation apps.

NOTE: The roads are not complete as Navit uses OpenStreetMaps to compile the map for its use.

It just shows blank yellow area. No maps. Probably I tried the map from the first link. I'll try the second one now.

I like Swype. I really like it that it learns your typed words and enter it into the dictionary. So if you speak trashy malay or broken english, the words like ko, jugak, naper, LOL, swt all will be recognized in the end.

My fav apps:

eBuddy - register an account and you can tie all the messaging accounts you have.
SMS Popup - it pop-ups when you get a sms.
Automatic Task Killer - So that I dont have to manually close all apps in the background.
3G Watchdog + APNdroid - Tracking data usage, pair with APNdroid to auto turn off 3G when it reached the limit.

The "Talk" background services is running. You can stop them in Manage Applications, but need to redo it when you reboot the phone each time.
