Yep, still can navigate through Maps just not in 3D navigation and no auto-re-routing system.
Have to view the maps in big picture.

Yes, still need telco to download the Maps in real-time.
However there are apps help to cache the maps into SDcard. Can't recall their name sorry! tongue.gif

can also use wifi to dld maps la... biggrin.gif g1 rules!

that is wrong answer!!!
there's Android base GPS software already available...exactly same like Garmin or MapKing point to point direction  icon_rolleyes.gif  in fact i'm using it now  thumbup.gif
marvellous, GPS lockdown very fast indeed.....more faster compared to WinMo based devices.
Offline google maps u wont be able access to map.....
U have to get connectivity to access google maps for navigation either GPS,WiFi or data line.

what app is that? and is it available in android market?

Try to remove the status2 or any newly installed apps that related to network. Too much widgets on the screen will also hog your system >:/
OOOoooo... I like donut more than Cupcake personally ^^)

I guess if you want admin/owner privilege of the phone, you root the phone. Then after you root, you can do anything to your phone, including rm -rf /

Im pretty much a tech newb so im not sure what you mean by that. I'll look into it tho. Thanks. icon_rolleyes.gif

the steps to root is really easy. i root my G1 after 4 days after i get my phone.
"rm -rf /" basically mean force delete entire folder. it's linux command
i mod my phone to CyanogenMod. not much different. mainly what i can see is interface enhancement such as:
- 5 desktop screen. previously 3
- restart option when long press power button
- can overclock after root
- remove ads from application using "Adfree" apps
- better camera function in default camera software
*
dammit. i am missing out! im rooting my droid. rclxms.gif
oh, and i finally got my body glove g1 case!
its feels so secure and sooooo good to touch. drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

I havent rooted my phone cz i havent found anyone in kuching who cn do it for me.
Im too much of a tech newb to have the courage to do it myself.

I do want to root tho.


Added on October 3, 2009, 1:40 pmThis happened a few weeks ago. I opened the market on my phone and the featured apps didnt show up. Is this just me?

hi guys,
I am currently looking at either getting a used 5800 or HTC Dream. Haven't really seen any comparison between the 2 phones, so I would appreciate any advice. BTW I am looking for a phone primarily for watching movies, listening to music and browsing the web (i am also into modding stuff). I like the 5800, but the exterior is a real turn off (looks like a cheap china toy tongue.gif) and I don't really like the responsiveness of the touchscreen (resistive instead of capacitive) and Symbian is not the most finger friendly OS. But the dedicated music controller, 3.5mm jack, headset which allows you to skip and control volume (not sure if HTC Dream has an aftermarket headset which does that) is a plus point for the 5800. And there seems to be more accessories for the 5800 (since more people are using it)
*
G1 is the most fun and functional phone i have ever used...and ive been around. Its v good for movies as i use it for my in-flight entertainment. smile.gif The 3gp files play ok. mp4 vids are better, clearer, but take up more space., hence i do need a mini sd w bigger storage. I had a 5800 before..didnt get me off at all.

After owning a G1 for 3 months or so, i can honestly say there isnt anything any phone on the market can do that the g1 cant match or do better.

Guys, just got my G1 a month ago and I was thinking where can I get accessories for this phone ?

I'm looking for a good screen protector too. Any recommendation ?

Yup. I use a non reflective screen protector for itouch but i cut to fit my screen. Coupled that with a body glove rubberised case and my baby is well protected. I had two extra cases but i sold it off already. I plan to get a pink swarovsky case for my wife soon. smile.gif
