im thinking to get this phone and just considering its gps functionality.. so i would like to ask about gps related things..
1. to use gps on c702 need to pay?
2. any screenshot for malaysia map via gps available?
3. is the gps function same like garmin? more? less?
4. how long the phone battery can stay alive when using gps (only and for normal use)
5. what its mean can use for free for first 3 month?
6. any pro and con about this phone (in any factors)?

hope other owner can help me in this.. coz im considering to get ori(850) or ap(649).. thx

1. normal gps is free.. while A-gps and wayfinder navigator software are not free.. >> can try use trekbuddy for map. it's free if you use normal gps to operate.
2. user posted image
btw, this is paid service.
3. yes, but u need registered software or use the trial version of wayfinder navigator. however data charges still apply.
4. plus minus 3hrs with gps and running gps apps, 2 days with normal usage without gps..
5. free software only; wanna use still need to pay for data charges. after 3 months, u need to pay for the software and as well as data charges..
6.
pro; not much.. it's just a basic phone with gps and camera. Splash resistant is just mere gimmick only.. dont rely much on it.. LED can use as torch, screen is good, White color is really white (ffffff) not yellowish compared to SE phone with ambient light sensor.
con; battery drain very fast when using gps, camera is very bad due to small aperture despite having 3.15MP. Lags alot when playing games and running apps, basically all aspects compared to 2009 SE phone. No auto-rotate or accelerometer, no light sensor.

after quite some time of using it, i find this phone is not that interesting, better get a walkman centric phone, at least you'll enjoy the music.

c702
-slow compared to 2009 phones
-splash proof? i'm not that confident.
-gps? slow, really makan alot battery power and need to pay. can use treybuddy, but no navigation.
-camera? not nice, must resize that 3mp pic to a size equivalent to or smaller than 640x480 to cover up detail loss. yellowish skin color when using flash at night.
-no accelerometer = less fun.
-firmware, if no update got bug at the menu, after update, still got bug or frequent restart.
