QUOTE(StupidGuyPlayComp @ Oct 31 2010, 07:03 PM)  Welcome to give inquiry for any apps require, we are ready to share it out Thanks SGuyPlayComp. This thread is real good same as the phone. After months of research, this is the phone! Also to share with all of you, Samsung Malaysia could not confirm whether it can be updated with 2.2 (this is by e-mail) and I have called them where one of the customer service officers said it can be updated to 2.2 so I am not sure who is giving the right answer but lets hope it can be update. Any of you afraid that after 2.2 update, the phone will start having problems?

Recommended for those who want to test out the Android without burning a hole in your pocket.

Hi thanks to SGuyPlayComp,
Installed papago x5 but dont know how to use it.
It keeps appearing in Kuala Lumpur (jln P ramlee area) but my place is in klang. The satelite dish at the top right keeps blinking. May I have any guidance here?
Your help is very much appreciated.

It is known problem for difficult first time satellite lock. Just got mine locked with lot of patience. Users here will guide you as they have guided me:
1: Enable wireless and GPS locking in setting. 2. Download GPS booster lite from market. 3. Open PPGx5 and leave in open space for sometime. (I leave mine on balcony for 10 mins)
Finally, it is working but the UI is not pleasant at all compare to GarminXT. Maps rendering and voice navigation also inferior to Garmin. Maybe should try Garmin-Asus android phone.
