Preorder price here in Singapore S$799 abt RM1870 and will be available on 221010 with 1 year warranty.

how detail is malaysian map on ovi?

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.

I am just wanted to post Programming need logical thinking person... but .. do u think his personality can think logically..

btwn.. OviMap.. Malaysia Map are horribly outdated....

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@BuFung: how horribly outdated?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

I agree wt u... ppl who say Symbian r user friendly usually is an old symbian user... giving 3 phones to a new user who never experience all iOS, Android, Symbian... I think he/she will be easily catch up on iOS...


the question I ask yesterday... I m many year symbian user also have difficulty to delete an old Wifi name which already registered in the phone on my S60V5... although still manage to delete but it take me some time...


Most of the OviMap Add are wrong.. Jalan this n that are mostly correct.. but overally address are wrong.. my house donno what add it giving me..

I have compare Navigation patch provided by GoogleMap and Ovi several times before.. GoogleMap, I donno why, maybe it registered some patch ppl use before.. it can give me much more accurate route.. OviMap are just calculate the route base on the Map and a lot of time, it bring u back tong san...

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....

see got enough Pre-Order to jack up the price or not... 2 weeks after pre-oder period, price drop RM200... joking....

i suspect is 'offer price for pre-order', 1799(below 1800 mah ) and after that is jacked up retail price at 2099

personally think the price hardly jack up gua. Becoz retail unit already less 1 year warranty and 1 free casing that cost almost rm200+ , some more add another rm200 for RRP is not a good move.

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'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.

the free case only cost RM89 lar...

Where did you get this information? I have check with nokia store at Woodland and they have no idea of the price. They even told me that the phone will be out end of November

Even the retailer at Teo Payoh does not know the price and some say will only be available end of this month or November.

N8 start selling at Hong Kong at 13th Oct. Price is fantastic at there.
3998 Hong Kong dollars = 1 598.19562 Malaysian ringgits
