Ashish Vashisht (MoGlee)'s take on Life & Technology
I think GPS does work. Its the solutions such as Maps, etc that may not work, cuz they require you to subscribe to GPRS. Nokia is giving away three months subscription to *their* maps service along with new phones nowadays - which means that you only have to pay the GPRS part to Airtel or whoever you csp is.
I'm pretty sure GPS should work (unless your unit is defective). It shouldn't depend on your service provider. But it does take a long time to triangulate your position. It works on my E71, albeit slowly. Regarding the Nokia Maps app - just download Google Maps and forget about the Nokia one. Google Maps has detailed street maps of most major Indian cities if not all. I don't think you'll get driving directions or traffic details so if you can live without that, its a far better tool. It can also use your cell tower to point your position roughly while the GPS takes its time to figure out where it is. BTW, Does the phone run on the S60 platform?
OK... 1. GPS works, but only outside (not inside a building :P)2. Scrolling is possible, just like what you do in Windows XP when you are dragging a file to another directory, hold down the screen and move to the edgeThe OS is S60 5th Edition. Many people are telling me to get the Google Maps app, will DL it :)Youtube doesn't seem to be working (next issue) Detailed review soon.
