hey old and current N95 users

i was actually inquiring about this phone with the salesman. I was very interested in N95 and also 6110 and was intending to make a purchase.

But the salesman told me about this fact before i make a decision. He said that the GPS license provide by NOKIA is only for 3 months and it require the user to pay MYR200/year to purchase the license to enable the GPS. If not, the built-in GPS will be locked.

Another alternative was to purchase an external GPS transmitter, which i do not intend to do so. Since it has a built-in GPS, why should i get an external. So i was wondering the fact about the GPS being disable after the "3months" is true? Is there anyway around it?

thx

hey, mstr583.

Thank for your remark.

Perhap i misquote the salesman, he mention the voice navigation is disactivated after it expire. But i wasnt sure if the gps could still be working or not. It seems it is possible but imo the voice navigation is the one good thing about gps. without it, it would be pointless for me.

At least you answered my question right to the point and not flaming around.

If that is the case, i would have to think over it and perhaps resort to a pda that is much more dedicated with gps. anyway thx again.

enjoy your N95 guys =)

edit:
well, about the charges, i heard it was MYR 200/ year. cheer! Extra top up! Evul stuff =p
