hey...BARONIC...which PDA model r u using? About the GPS navigation, how much u pay for the service??under which telco company? I wondering whether normal phone can use this kind of service or not?

let me see if i can put it in a nutshell.

imagine space. imagine hundreds of satelites floating in space. these satelites help detect where u are. thats GPS, Global Positioning Satellite.

Using GPS, is totally FREE. there is no telco, nothing. its just...u need something to access those satelites.

Some PDA has inbuilt GPS receiver, for those which dont, u need to buy an external GPS receiver lor. so got telco althose stuff wan

If still hard to imagine, think of GPS like BlUETOOTH. BLUETOOTH is a connection, no telcos right? but to use BLUETOOTH u need a bluetooth capable device. If your device not capable, u gotta buy a USB bluetooth doogle. like that lor, GPS .

My recommendation in terms of pricing and best buy, i say go for Dopod p100

got wi-fi, good size, in built GPS.

Now that u have an idea what GPS is and works, u need a software that has maps, to correctly place u on it. Cuz if u dun have software, just have the GPS part, sure, satelite can detect u, but then? so u need maps. These mapping software are the stuff u must pay. However, malsing maps are free maps u can get lor.

wow.. Bluetooth GPS RM250?
where do you buy it?
i am looking for one also.. the prices i found is btw 350 - 500.. so expensive

Dopod p100 got inbuilt PDA, brand new rm 999. i bought mine second hand at rm 700.  not that bad wat

i just can't wait N95 to release... it's way more than a PDA already, the minus is w/o touchscreen... but is there a definition that a Personal Digital Assistant must've a touchscreen-able? well, i can't deny that it's a significant feature that distinguish PDA from other categories... but it's the new version of multimedia assistant... most importantly, the versatility of all these gadgets have weakened the firm definitions of the term. be reminded that the 1 of the most important features as an assistant, it should sync w/ ur computer as its 1st predecessor (Newton) was created to do.

btw, GPS = Global Positioning System (not satellites, duh!)

Dopod P100 is in fact running on WM5 OS

i install a lot of games already, and Dopod p100 already running windows 5 lar. lol. 64 ram is more than enough, and the 300MHz compared to my old pda which was 400Mhz i can see no difference at all. The GPS runs smoothly, games run even SMOOTHER. No problem at all. That small specs dun really mean much realli, cuz PDA also dun need so much power. Unless like u want to like, run a game, minimize it, play music, minimize, open word, minimize, open GPS. Then of course GG lar haha.

But yea, i agree with the Dopod small screen. Thats one of the first things i noticed. But ok lar, boleh tahan.

Key pad ar, i use keypad before its like damn slow. i rather use hand writing recognition

@xyes ya lar u very smart lar                 

lol, no touch pad has the disadvantage of no handwriting recognition lor. which depending on user, can either be bad, or no diff cuz i know some people dun like to use hand writing. but for me, in the beginning quite hard, lots of mistakes, but practice makes u go damn fast. like writing normally.

lol, yeah dude, its a pda only. i dun like pda phone. Cuz i sms a lot, so sure not enuf battery to surf and play heavy gaming. plus my GPS usage. Dopod p100 is the only non phone PDA (i think) to have in built GPS. NON-PHONE PDA. thats why its a good buy, in my opinion anyway. no regrets here!

eh, any, idea whats the difference between Q-Tek and Dopod? cuz Q-tek got a model, EXACT clone of Dopod p100. Matter of fact, my dopod p100 using q-tek krussel case. Diff name for diff region or wat?
