even if you turn on GPS, it will not "sniff" unless a software tells it to (ie. Papago, Google Map, etc.)... therefore the speed of locking is dependent on the GPS hardware in the phone.

ok here's a related question. we know that in time we all upgrade phones. therefore the IMEI will differ everytime.

is it ok if i enroll the IMEI of a device that i am not ever going to sell (like my Nokia basic phone or an old Siemens phone in my collection), so I will not have change IMEI issues?

eh? what happens if i change phone then, what to do?

damn. what a disadvantage. this basically means i am stuck with my existing phone, as my papago license cannot be transferred.

this is not acceptable i think, as in time people will change phone, either new model come out, need money so resell, stolen, lost, broken and beyond economical repair, very many reasons.

is that official (cannot be transferred)? any reasonable solution provided?

i was thinking along the lines of, when we buy of course there is an authorization code or something. then its paired with IMEI ok, i am ok with that to curb piracy. but when need to change phone, is it fine it you bring then your new phone to an authorized papago service center, together with your proof of purchase, authorization code, and everything they can use to prove it is legitimate buy and registered to the previous IMEI. then they would just install a new one to the new phone, register the new IMEI on it, and deregsiter/invalidate the previous IMEI paired with the authorization code. that can be done in store right? of course a limit as well, say up to 3 IMEI changes only and only within a certain period of time, say 3 years, whichever comes first. could even bill the license transfer to pay the labor of who would be doing it. i guess that's reasonable enough by the time either 3 years past or 3 changes of phone, the customer would have utilized its worth.

maybe since the M9 is new these things haven't been thought about?

> i used x5 before, interface was quite similar, nothing unfamiliarly new.

i saw on the site there's coordinate inputting already?
also, the important thing here is that it has new map. X5 stuck already at Oct 2011.

i'm sad for that fact, to think i was excited in buying before. i hope the issues get resolved.
