8GB have to be SDHC

I also bought at RM2399 a month ago. Should have wait til this month.

k33vin, yes you can uninstall mapking and install Garmin. No harm doing that. But in my case, although mapking is not useful to me, I still install it as a backup, just incase my Garmin fail to load or something wrong with it, I still have a backup.

for the GPS, i was told that PDA respond is much slower than a GPS device. izzit true?

any feedback on the GPS for Asus P750?

Noonian, can't be helped. Technological products will always drop price like crazy. The RM1999 is actually promo price for the duration of their fair in Mid Valley only. Today is last day, I think. The sales guy told me the actual price still between RM2399 and 2799.

BTW, even if you buy this month, nothing's gonna stop the retailers from offering the P750 at RM1799 next month right? He he he. That's the peril of buying new tech products.

Thks mrchloo, i prefer p750..hehe..GPS really important to me le. Will they free install GPS firmware as well??Heard MapKing sucks le..any recommendation GPS firmware?

Thks for d advise..hehe..price really drop very fast..

corinthian, sometimes Garmin will fail to load but it is due to the OS problem. Usually restart the device then ok already. *Touch wood* so far, no need to activate the backup (Mapking) yet. But I always feel safer to have a backup system.

Imagine that if you are using a 1 or 2GB card, how much space can it used up, right? So just leave it there lor...

Hihi.. I need help... last 2 days I went to Maxis Center to ask for 3G setting, but they say this P750 not support 3G, and he show me a setting from
start -> setting -> connections ->
and select connections -> advance tab, when create new modem connection my P750 only have "bluetooth, Cellular Line, Celluler Line(GPRS) . The Maxis guy say only can connect to internet via GPRS, but not 3G shown. Can anyone help me how to configure and setting for 3G so that I can use video call as well as online 3G?

can use..just use the normal maxis 3G setting.

yes u can uninstall mapking then install garmin software

garmin and mapking map are used different extension that are img and m7a(mapking2007)

that is not firmware but normal software
they never install for u,can ask them if u want.
u can google it at a key word " garmin rapidshare forum" or BUY

that is not OS problem, garmin itseft.

GarminMobileXT_42050w---- it stable only when u are using it. it cause the PDA lag after closed the program, needs always reset or wait one or two more minutes for system resume to normal.

GarminMobileXT_42040w----pretty smooth in run and close the progarm for few times, never hanged and lag but only hv one problem auto shut down with error when resume from sleep mode(that is not importance when u do navigating it never goto sleep mode .)

I'M now installed garmin and mapking.

I found that mapking lead u to the shortest way if compared with garmin
and navigation panel is nicer than garmin because i like it shown how far the distance is instead of showing time in garmin and also turn by turn.

this is my 2 cent

p750 bought 2 weeks

Haha...definately that guy doesn't know how to configure. No doubt you can't find a wording called "3G" in the settings but P750 is supporting more than just 3G (UMTS), it is supporting 3.5G (HSDPA).

I called Maxis customer support and here's the PDF they sent to me (attached here) and I have tried it out, the steps are slightly wrong but still can use. Don't have to follow exactly, as long as you follow the first few parts, all the settings should be in already.

Hi, I see the setting of the PDF file u attached in. Just wonder it means that we using the modem setting "Celluler Line (GPRS)" actually consider connect to 3G?

I assume it connected to 3G because when I use it to online (not wifi), I can see the 3G icon there and sometimes changed to "H" (HSDPA).

Yep..absolutely 3G connection

no need enter what unet,ip......etc, just simply follow these three simple settings. then
p750 will automatic configure for u..that's all.

goto "setting"----select "GSM/3G networks------select 'automatic"----ok

then

goto "setting"----select "network setting"-------in "operator" colume select maxis(3g)-----done

then (for online purpose)

goto "setting"------"connection"-----connection------tab "advance"-----"select networks"-----select "maxis internet settings"---ok

the "maxis internet settings" only available after select "maxis(3g)" in operator colume

sometime it connected to gprs or "H" HSDPA when u online, depend on the coverage

the p750 signal bar area will display "3G" word if u in 3G coverage area or "G" (gsm)without 3G signal.

Hi!
I got this strange problem. I noticed a couple of times when I took my phone out frm my bag, the Location Courier app is running, although I didn't turn it on myself. My phone was locked.
Then later i found out that I can start up Location Courier by holding onto the Mode Switcher Button. How do I un-configure this? I can't seem to find it anywhere...

Try to go to start -> settings -> buttons. I believe you have configured to hold the button will load the location courier.

nopes it's not there
Button 1 does not have long press and it's tide the BSwith. I don't have location courier configured under Buttons.

I found out after exit from GArmin XT program, the device will slow down due to QUE.EXE is still running at the background. You can see it running using Memaid under RUNNING PROCESS. Now I usually quit GARMIN XT using memaid to terminate the program rather than using the "exit" button. Now no more need to reset.
Hope this help.

just got mine on monday. so far so good!
