Ok Guys,
For the PMs I received regarding these issues....Let me reply U here and make it clear so that other Forummers need not ask me or anyone again.
1) How do I update to the Latest Firmware?
You can update to the lastest software On S.E.U.S (Sony Ericsson Update Service)
Go to www.sonyericsson.com and follow the instructions there.
Latest Phoneware ---> R3DA029
2)Do I get charged by my TELCO (Maxis, Celcom, Digi) for using Google Maps on my C702?
Yes....Google Map downloads its maps constantly through GPRS Usage in your Phone as there is no preloaded maps. You phone download the maps each time u open Google Maps and and as you move around.
3)Any free GPS Software that doesnt require downloading maps?
Yes....Do some research. One example is TREKBUDDY. TREKBUDDY works fine with C702. Preloaded maps are the best alternative. There are pros and cons to this.
4)Does the GPS receiver really work?
Yes, it works fine. But the GPS receiver's reception is not as strong as independant GPS Devices such as Garmin or Holux.
5)What is A-GPS?
A-GPS is Assisted Global Positioning System. Majority of handphone comes with A-GPS. It means that the phone requires signals from Communications Towers to help determine your location quicker and more accurately. So your telco will charge you when your phone downloads these data through GPRS usage.
6)Does the phone lag when opening/closing applications and making calls?
Yes. But not as bad as some other phone models like the W910i. You have to update to the latest phoneware because the phoneware is still being constantly developed and updated. It would never perform as fast as older phones such as the W810i or K750i because its GUI and features are far more advanced eg.. Advanced Menus and Display, GPS, 3G, Cybershot camera. The processor is admittedly a bit slow in supporting the A200 platform
7)Is the phone really waterproof?
Read properly. S.E never said the phone is waterproof. It is only splash proof. Meaning that you can listen to your phone under the rain, or you can spill some coffee onto it but NOT bring your phone for a swim or leave it in the washing machine for a wash.
I hope these answer most of your queries. Read properly before you post the same questions over and over again. If still in doubt, do some research online. I'm sure you will be able to find these information on the net.

Hey TOMEI,
