Also, anyone mind to create a user bar for the proud owners of this baby?

how do u guys download msn messenger inside and anyone can help me in gps? i can't seems to use it, is there any maps that i should download?thanks.. newbie question... smile.gif

By right you should have nokia map already installed in your system...the map (Malaysia) also have been installed...that is if you purchased from avaxx i think...AP set i'm not sure...maybe map is according to where the ap set came from. Or you can can download MapKing 2007 for Symbian S60 from www.mapking.com...not free though...come with 3 days trial

Which software for GPS is better ?

So far MapKing is the best for our baby...locking i find it surprisingly slow...seems like nokia map locks faster...

Sorry for my previous retarded post, offer cancelled...

Nevermind, just got the phone working...GPS seems to worked most of the time now. However, does it work very fast everytime? Mine seems to be sluggish catching the satellite sometimes, but seems to work quite accurate now...

Anyone?
*
Usually it depends on how clear the sky is at the locating time...but usually it takes around 1-2 minutes to lock...

Some stupid question. For N95 8GB between Avaxx set and Zitron set which one is highly recommended?
*
From the information i got... this time Zitron didn't take the 8GB version, only avaxx.

I've heard that before..even when i'm buying mine..i ask for zitron...they say got..but need to order...when arrived it's avaxx..then they claimed that zitron didn't take the n95 8GB...well...i think it's true since nobody's in this forum has yet bought a zitron set...don't you think it's a bit late for zitron to enter now?..

Whoever plans to visit the nokia care centre to fix their n95 8gb problem please go to the HQ in berjaya plaza... the other branches will all direct you to the HQ and their reasons will be this model is too new so they wont be able to do anything. So yea remember not to waste your time visit other branches.. only go to the one in berjaya plaza in front of times square

and btw maxis just charged me rm96.70 for 3g usage of 9670 kb which is equalavent to 9mb.. thats so crazy
*
either subscribe to unlimited data package or you can try subscribe to maxis value extras where you can pay extra RM10 per month for 5MB of data..

1. Is CSL set original? (cause I saw CSL being sold, and to be claimed NOT an AP set.)

2. Anyone using voice-guided navigation? Do we actually need to pay for voice guided navigation?
Does your current GPS work like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y42aF0zxRc
with all the popular restaurants, shops available on the map?
*
1. Not sure...no nokla version of it yet...so i guess it's ori...but not from authorized dealer

2. Yes you have to pay for the voice nav if using nokia maps, and yes it works just like in the youtube. just that malaysian map is not that extensive compared to US/Europe and not son many POI (Point of interest).

that's very expensive and like not worth it.

do you think the gps is still useful w/o the voice navigator?
does in still have the distance and turning direction on top left if i don't purchase the voice nagivator?
and is it possible to add shops/some landmark on the map on your own?
*
1) For me you still need the voice navigation as i don't think it's wise to always looking at your hp while driving. About the usefulness, while driving not really unless you have a friend helping you, and yes a bit if you're walking to your destination.
2) Yes, you'll still have the navigation even though your voice guidance feature expired.
3) Yes, you can add landmark.

Download MapKing and google up some info regarding it...I'M SURE you'll find something.

did you choose "data transfer" when connecting your usb?..don't use pc suite or anything else. You can only transfer the map in "data transfer" mode.

Yes it has the chinese symbols thingy but i dont understand why would you need that tongue.gif You don't use pin yin ? Btw I think you should only go to the NCC in berjaya plaza because other branches would not have the spare parts yet, thus no keypad with them. I'm sure the HQ in berjaya plaza has it.

Called nokia hotline today and spoke to an operator about the free 3 months voice navigation thingy they told me that i have to wait for the 3 days trial to expire before I can activate the 3 months one... it was so hard for me to end the call because her voice was soooooooo sweet and she was so polite ewwwww ^^
*
I bought it 1 week ago...but still nothing on the 3 month free voice...did she specifically tell you what to do after the 3 day trial expires Ash?

I honestly think the voice navigation is useless for Nokia's Malaysia map as the roads are not detail enough to give a reliable guide. I've tried the simulation which is of course FOC demostration but it's quite confusing, and it's guiding to a no entry road, imagine that. You'll need paid map services... shakehead.gif

And for anyone wants the 3 months free trial, AP sets don't have it so... brows.gif
*
- agreed, the map is not updated and extensive enough. But the voice navi is better than MapKing as far as i've used it.
- wrong pigcat...missgeek hp is a comsat AP set...and better still...she's the only one here that received the 3 months free voice navigation...i think it's because of her set is from singapore.

The dealer sold me a very nice simple pouch (dunno what to call, just simple bag) and seems very silky interior, he just sold me RM10 which I think should be more expensive. I love it!

Of course I'd love to have a proper transparent platic kits to mount on the phone, kinda hate leather holdster or something similar.

By the way anyone has tips on how to safely unplug the USB cable? Just now I did some transfering and without any traffic on the cable I unplugged it and my N95 goes blank but I can see the screen still flickering...Take out the battery and start it again, works normal lol. It's really scary...Anyone? ohmy.gif
*
If you're transferring using "data transfer" mode...PLEASE eject from windows...if from PC Suite...i have no idea...i normally just unplug it when finished...so far no error or glitches..

my seller gave me 66** series pouch..fit's nicely...previously they gave me the n95 one...can fit...but i kept hearing tut tut sounds...i guess the pouch was a bit fit so it touches the navigation keypad.

For GPS locking time...if cold locking ( 1-2 days didn't use)...it can take up to 10-15 minutes or so depending on your location and no obstructions..hot locking is around 10-30 seconds...

I just used the normal RM10 car holder..works ok..but seems like difficult if I want to charge...since that it has bottom support that somewhat blocked the charger pin.

You can try to find the car holder that can be attached to car's windscreen and able to rotate to either horizontal or vertical, like the picture shown below

mine was similar like that..and attached to the windscreen..it's just that...usually it can't be rotated easily.
