Sapura sets are confirm original.
They are not commercialize like Zitron and AVAXX that distribute to Authorize dealers to be sold to end users. Sapura distributes to big big corporates for staff and so.

Sapura even does Automotive retails (BMW) in Malaysia. But i don think distributing Nokia phones is their core business though.

If u had garmin installed it'll probably drain faster.
I've experience b4 when i was using N96. with garmin xt installed, battery last for less than 24hours (normal usage, music and few phone call) not that hardcore. Without Garmin XT installed, can last longer.
I'm still trying on my n85, it seems quite lasting without Garmin XT installed. Normal usage can last for 2 days.

i pick n85 over n96. In terms of weight, it is lighter. In term of size, it is much slimmer. Battery life is the main concern as n96 really has a bad battery life. The battery bar dropped 2 bars only but when i woke up in the morning, it's dead! N85 wins in almost every aspects except for the memory storage size and the 0.2" difference of screen size. I'm not that particular with the screen size and the memory though. 8GB is more than enough and i still love the bright n colourful OLED display on N85 ^^ heheh!

It depends, i did a comparison as well with 2 N96s, 1 AP 1 Original.
The original one slides better and it feel more solid.
But i still kinda like N85's coz it is so smooth =D

Didn't actually count how long it took but it seems kinda long to me. lolx!

No idea bout the nokia maps, but i usually lock my position with nokia maps 1st before using garmin. This way will lock my position in a shorter time. Ofcoz with A-GPS on ^^

Well, u can't do anything except sending it to which ever AP company to fix it or if its an original set, send it to Nokia care center.
If its nothing major, Nokia care center can fix it within few hours. I experienced once, fixing the sliding problem i had with my E66 for just 1 hours.
AP company i'm not so sure, my fren even waited for 1week+ to get his phone fixed. So i still prefer original set

Yes, mine can last for 2days plus. Quite impressive as i've been using wifi for around 1-2hours and making phone call n messaging + GPS a little.
Compare to my previous N96, it's far far better

I even did video recording with flash on. Not sure how much energy it consume but it still last for 2days+. I'm satisfied with the battery life

As far as i know, i did few times of hard resets on my n96, even the NGAGE app is gone after a hard reset, have to reinstall

Happy Chinese New Year too
Wishing for more ang pows this year MOney money

I don think that would be necessary unless u feel that ur phone is unstable after the FW update.

Added on January 24, 2009, 3:47 pmJust a friendly reminder, changing product codes will eventually void the warranty unless u change it back to the original product code before sending back for warranty. Yes, Singapore product code comes with chinese language. Malaysia 1 also got

yes, it's best to have garmin xt v4 installed instead of v5 since the cardrunner.dll will be draining battery alot.

Not necessary to do a hard reset but it wont harm to do a hard reset though.

Well, i think newer firmwares doesn't turn off the camera shutter anymore right?

as far as i know older firmwares of N95, EMEA version of firmwares turns off shutter sound in silent mode. As for APAC version i think it can't be turned off.

I don think we could discuss about unlockers here. Please PM if u insist to learn about garmin. Else u've to pay to get the garmin memory card instead.

If ur garmin software has not been activated yet, u can't use the built-in GPS module, in other words, u need to buy a genuine one or there's always "the other way".
Uncle google might be able to help u
Cheers...

yeah.. check on the memory card as well. By right it should be a Nokia branded 1.

Yes, its black in front n copper at the back
