a word of warning, in the 'gps positioning' settings, pls uncheck everything except the 'internal antenna' option. you'll be charged if you use the 'assisted gps' option

sir, are u sure its free? from what i know, ovimap charges you per kb

yes it's free. the asian map includes big cities in asia as well. meaning, maps for shanghai, singapore, beijing, hk, kuala lumpur, etc. are all free when you download the 3gig asian map. so make sure your memory card for your nokia is 4gig or more

 

by the way, i have thoroughly checked the philippine map of ovimap 3.0 and it has all the major highways plus 3 cities (metro manila, metro cebu and baguio). the rest are *&^%$. so for out-of-the-city driving, rpmap using garmin xt pa rin ang number 1

Actually it's globe that's charging you if you turn on the "go online" option. If you turn that off and turn off the assisted GPS the phone will only use the built in GPS receiver for mapping and you wont get any data charges.

 

And I do agree with Sir Remoteworld's assessment of Ovi Maps 3, it's ok for the city but for going out of town, Garmin XT pa rin. :thumbsupsmiley:

i used my eten x800's garmint xt map in my trip to baguio (and back). finding the well-known hotels, restaurants and landmarks was a cinch. then i turned on my 5800's ovi maps while in kennon road. the new nokia firmware really made a difference in satellite fix, but the ovi map was disappointing. the baguio map is ok, but some streets are still missing in the map but overall it's forgivable

 

on the way back to manila i noticed the detours we make (to avoid the traffic caused by convoys of legarda, erap and gordon groups) are not in the ovi map too

best i ever had siguro ung SE k750 ko hehehe. luma na, had it for 5 yrs now, ang gusto ko dito ung battery life nya, abot pa rin at least 2-3 days given ung normal use ko. normal usage ko is at least 100 txt messages a day, at least 20mins of calls per day din. pag ginamit ko pa ung mp3 ayun mga 2days lang buhay nya, pero oks pa rin.

any review for Nokia E72? thanks

[polofalltrades]

Wa~~la, the best phone that I ever had hands down is my China phone A200. The phone is already 3 years in my possession, functions like a new one, the battery lasts 4 to 5 days on my normal usage, touchscreen accuracy is simply perfect. The only drawback is the fading of the keypad. But nonetheless, a very good and inexpensive catch, compare to those other "Branded" phones

Does anyone have any reviews on the Samsung B5310 Corby Pro and the Samsung B7610 Omnia Pro?

[centrino]

E71 is now selling 14K brand new!!! Maybe even cheaper in the black market!

[Manthao]

sobrang ok ng E71... almost 1 year ko n cyang gamit...
