hurm... price classified? . need to go survey then . hehe.... how bout the GPS function? issit hackable@free like garmin?

nope. its a featured phone with Flash UI. not smartphone hence no garmin. googlemap only.

Guess should be like RM1899 or RM1988 then. Since this is not a smartphone but a feature phone guess the OS is not open. Meaning software like garmin will not be able to work with it. But it does have Google Maps via JAVA right?

^ yeap... but not uptodate roads unlike garmin.. but still can save you from sesat.. just hav to pay for the 3G download or unlimited plan signup..

meaning if use GPS need to connect via GPRS rite? or subscribe anything? surely not free

Yes, Google Map relies on the ability to download from its server the road maps and satellite images. So you will either need GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA network or WIFI downloads. But since we're on the move here, I guess we have to rely on network downloads.

aih... if that the case need to think many times to buy. i used the GPS a lot with my n82 (it's free since use garmin ). however, thanx for all the reply guys

All CORRECT!!!

I will be in Lowyat today, so those who is interested in Renoir or want to buy, can sms to me~. click on my LG siggie to see my number~

Added on December 27, 2008, 3:08 pmfinally i able to test renoir after the launching.. and i must say, renoir is the real successor for viewty. the built is better than viewty which feel abit plasticyky.. camera wise is nothing to really shout about except that it is clear enough. but mp3 playing is a bit soft.. although the ringtones is quite loud even for noisy enviroment. the UI is nothing new, but it is faster than LG viewty. responsive than viewty too. ahh.. messaging is quite a pain in the neck.. hard to type in landscape mode, potrait mode easier...

tested for 10min and its quite tempting to own one...

The built in browser can play youtube directly?

Yes but unfortunately, you'll be redirected to http://m.youtube.com.
