Those buying AP sets, is Nokia Map included in the package? I asked my friend who is a phone shop dealer, saying AP have something in difference like cannot fully support some software due to like non-ori firmware sort of thing compared to Ori. Just wondering if its true. Cause the prices for both is quite a margin.
*
last time when to phone shop asking for AP set, they said need to add another RM50 if want to use the nokia map...if ori set, no need because already installed...i ask some sellers here in garage sales, they also said same thing...
then i ask is there any others function that are not in AP set...they said only the nokia map..others are same...

@yupio

Thanks for the reply. Some more questions. Is your warranty by Telstar? And  how much did you bought yours?

Still considering this or upcoming XpressMusic 5800.

i bought AP Set from renee...telstra warranty...same price with her thread at garage sale...RM1589 for 1yr warranty , lcd no warranty, battery and charger 1mth warranty..

As for the warranty, I see most AP gives 12 months warranty for LCD, 1~3 months for battery and charger. Just want to confirm on that.

QUOTE(doomx @ Nov 23 2008, 04:02 PM)
That is what im aware of but then he said no warranty...  hmm.gif

then....u can upgrade the warranty to "2yrs warranty, lcd 1yr, battery and charger 3mths warranty "...just like what renee says in her selling thread...sumore, she will add the "missing part on AP set" (the NOKIA GPS thing)..plus..she also install garminxt for free...plus...1 screen protector... brows.gif
for the price, i think u all better check with her...

No prob bro....mine's CSL


Added on November 23, 2008, 5:21 pm

yeah, my AP set will be able to update fine as its exactly the same as the Zitron / Avaxx set. For a confirmed answer, will have to wait till a firmware update is available.
My CSL AP set have 12 months warranty on LCD, 15 months warranty everything else.
It'll be Infrastructure mode....funny though, mine works just fine...try other browser??


Added on November 23, 2008, 5:45 pmReporting 1st incident of N85 freeze.

I've switched on Menu Transition and for the first time, when a call comes in, the ringer did not ring but the screen shows Incoming Call but then I press the green (receive call button), the phone did not respond. All other buttons pressed also did not get the phone to respond. End up, the phone auto reboot with the NOKIA word and white background then goes into main standby screen.

I go into Call logs, the call did not register as missed or incoming call.

Overall with the menu transition switched on, the interface seems lagged. Will try it for a few days, if it gives prob, will switch off.  shakehead.gif

what menu transition?? hmm.gif

You should upgrade the warranty la.
I bought from her also.
But pay a bit more for the 2yrs warranty with 1yr warranty on LCD.

She got install Garmin for you? Maybe cos I didnt ask so I din get it.
But Nokia Map is enough for me liao.

i did upgrade the warranty to 2yrs.. biggrin.gif
i ask her to install garmin...also the nokia map..

1. This I can help you. Its the same for every phone. Instead of making the shortcut point to messaging, change it to New Message. This way after you send the msg, back to front page. No all people know this trick.
i mean when we replying msg...
if send new msg, its ok..after send it will go to front page..but if i replying msg, it will go back to inbox folder... blush.gif

i think u got same problem with me...

its true that your inbox is empty...but, the phone will detect all the messages from your SIM as new message..that's why the icon keep blinking...either u delete all your message from your SIM, or u can read all the message again...your choice...

i "malas" so i just delete all...its work for me thou... biggrin.gif

the AP version of this phone.. does it work like the ori ones? as in.. the maps and GPS...
*
these what i know...
the diff between ori n ap is the warranty only...all items is from original set...(this is what i've been told from sellers in garage sales)
but if u look back couple of pages in this thread, u will notice that people talks about AP set dont have "full" nokia map...need to add another 50 bucks to activate it...
be careful not to buy hong kong set, because they dont have FM transmitter.. (i think can be add using new firmware)

need guide!!

under positioning method, what should i tick?? hmm.gif
-bluetooth gps
-assisted gps
-integrated gps
-network base

thanks...
-------------------------------
got it smile.gif

- Bluetooth GPS - Allows you to use an external Bluetooth GPS unit with the phone instead of its integrated one. This would be much cooler if it let you use the phone itself as a Bluetooth GPS for another device, like your laptop, but no. sad.gif

- Assisted GPS - Just like integrated GPS, except the phone will make use of its data capabilities to download information about its current location to improve its tracking speeds.

- Integrated GPS - Bog standard GPS functionality. Without AGPS however, satellite lock-on may take a few minutes rather than seconds.

- Network based - Collects positional data from the surrounding network towers to 'guesstimate' your current position. Accuracy depends on the number of towers in your reach. This does not cost anything to use (no data charges!) and may use less battery life however it is not nearly as accurate as GPS.

Guess what, NSU is able to detect N85 now.

I guess it won't be too long till the next firmware is released. A surprise christmas gift from nokia perhaps?

will nokia announce the new firmware or everyday need to check the NSU??

BTW, how do you feel about the performance of the GPS?
I feel its really weird cos it doesnt seem to connect to the GPS at all. Now if I turn GPS off and then turning it back on, viola, its connected liao and locking position in less than 30sec. Software error or firmware error? Lastime when I didnt turn off the Assisted GPS, no such problem. Im still figuring how to get the guide going. I already downloaded the voice file but there doesnt seem to be any guide in the favorite menu.
not really understand what u mean...is it u cannot use the GPS at all?? hmm.gif
i did test the GPS last night using garmin...lock about 5min...A-GPS disable...use Intergrated GPS only...locking position did take some times, but after that its great.. i did try to use diff route from what it state in the garmin, and the phone re-calculate route is fast enough for me to follow... very satisfied with it..smile.gif

**this my 1st GPS device..so dont know if u guys said slower or faster than other phone...its good enough for me biggrin.gif
