lol..what happen to this thread? had a war here?

hmm ya haven't try that but i think its better don't too focus on gps if you need use it alot
becoz make battery drain only..
if u just wanna search any shop or location nearby then still ok because standalone device provide
much much better reception...anyway just my personal view 

lol..i see..
well, i think it's still ok lar, normally we just use it to navigate to some places that we wanna go mah, personally i use it quite often, so i think accuracy still important..to me, i don mind getting higher accuracy even if it means draining more battery, since i have car charges to make up for that..
@EXkurogane: i dunno where u get the impression of programming need physics and math, but as a programmer, i can tell u, no, you don need those, unless you are into graphic/gaming industries..application programmer don need to be good in those, just need to be able to think logically, that's all.

not that i wanna bring up old flames, but Symbian's layout is layered, and i meant the menu and also the settings...user would need to put some effort to explore to know where is what settings located, whereby iOS, it's rather clear, even though it still needs some effort, but it's obviously less in the case where user is first time for both platforms. What EXkurogane mentioned it not really so much of user friendly, like some other already mentioned, it's more like you are already familiar with the whole UI/Layout/Organize of the OS...

@BuFung: how horribly outdated? still using 2005 maps?

I think all these are more like marketing strat. The standalone device really works superbly that 1 i know

With this kind of news...the retail price will be 2099 or 1999....for here...that is why Nokia Msia till now don't want to announce the price until Nokia Sg announce....

I'm pretty satisfied with Ovi maps on my E71 actually (though of course, it's not perfect).
For a free offering, and with voice navigation it's pretty good.
Though i agree with you, different user types would get different results (i have had google maps lead me to nowhere before too).
Combine google map's superior search (get the address/coordinates) with Ovi map's voice navigation and you're all set. 

p/s: How many ppl who quote garmin here actually buys it legally ? that's also something to think about.

i dun think anyone here buy garmin legally.u know la.malaysian culture ma.

talking about map.... the OVI map can onli help u in KL area the others u r doom. I remember it show me somewhere in the hill when i am in some small town.

I have tried alot of OS.

If only Maemo still have support from Nokia, I would put it on the top

Android>Maemo>Symbian>iOS

iOS at the last, coz its pretty sickening with all the restriction.

I hope someone could cook up Maemo ROM for N8 

everytime i heard the word "jailbreak" it irritating me... 
why dont call it prisonbreak?? 

n8 coming soon.. coming to town to beat all cameraphone~

i dun think Windows Mobile is tat bad.... based on my past experience with Windows Mobile (5.0 - 6.5 version) i would said windows mobile can do a lot of things.
The onli problem with it is the OS sometimes hangs or start to become slow motion or lag. A lot of bug i would said.

But on functionality on the phone itself it beats the crap out of other OS. Just i cant ignore the problem having constantly restarting my phone. That why i end up going back to nokia 6300 and then to n79.

But now Windows mobile is coming back. Lets give it a chance. At least M$ is willing to make a big change not like Nokia's Symbian have any much changes.

then i go spray lohhh 

Do we need the screen protector ? what with the gorilla glass and all. I've asked my ipong 4 friends and they said they did, just to be "safe" more than actual worry of scratches.

Finally a sunny day!

Car I can afford, just cannot bear the running costs only.

Aiyo why N8 thread become car thread.

Anyway, anything I can test on the phone that you want my opinions?  I have the day off after undergoing a small surgery so a bit bored.

1.  There is no direct way to upload a taken picture to social networks via the photos gallery (sux).  I like the way you do it in Maemo better.  You can mail though (I think FB allows upload via mail).  There is also a social app (also sux IMO) which downscales the photo, which means your 12MP snaps are pretty much wasteful.  No Flickr integration which is a shame, but you can use Pixelpipe (never used before).  Coming in Ovi Maps 3.06 is a "check in" feature, but I've never tried it out, since I'm not really into the whole FB craze.

2.  The default browser is very bad with the accuracy on LYN.  Some links must be zoomed in before it can even be tapped, while others can be tapped easily.  1-2MB pages load fast though.  However, visiting other websites, I've not encountered unclickable links.  But the browser still chugs along on blogs such as Engadget (2-4MB per page).  You would be better off using Opera Mobile (which I have made my default).  With Opera, LYN is easily navigated, links can be clicked and experience was smooth.  However, Opera still had problems trying to recognize clicks on the 1,2,3,>,>> buttons on LYN.  In conclusion,  default browser not recommended for this version.

3.  I don't understand what you meant by surf full FB page.  Do you have any site to test flash lite support?

smooter than ip4 or galaxyS?

Good opportunity for camera effect on your Guan Gong's face.
