I just bought this phone.. now you can buy this phone at RM588, my bought price.

For volume you can tap the side button (upper for increase, lower for decrease). OR you can tap the SQUARE button on the left while you at HOME SCREEN. Go to SETTING, to SOUND, go to VOLUME.. you can adjust you audio level as per your requirement.
Yup, the ringtone is ascending. Through Google, I found no way to disable that.

It's my first smartphone. This is the cheapest one available. LOVE IT!!

ehh.. have you try this:

"OR you can tap the SQUARE button on the left while you at HOME SCREEN. Go to SETTING, to SOUND, go to VOLUME.. you can adjust you audio level as per your requirement."

from here (VOLUME) we can adjust sound for ringtone, media and alarm. Try change the media vol level, maybe it will affect the loudspeaker mode (O1 treat it as media).

For GPS since it's preinstalled with NDrive, for LG user I just know that we can get one free map.
I googled it, find no right answer. Then I put my Q on the NDrive Tech Support, give my IMEI. Later they reply with instruction, WALLA.. free MY and SG maps.. although not up to date as Papago.

using NDrive you have to work around a bit. Using function Navigate, destination add from the address, POI or recent place. BUT, if the place your looking for is not there, you have to look in Map, tap it, so it will become recent place.

Click Navigate, select recent place, it will automatic calculate your route.

U can download on Market Apps2SD... it will tell you which Apps can be move to SD card. Save a lot of Internal memory.

BUT some Apps can't... like it or not, you have to uninstall to make space.. I actually have to do that... Max games on my O1 is 5 or 6.. huhuhu
