i got 6110 lei :o

[godaingue]

out already?

[alzw87]

They are re-using the number of the archived models. Seems like they are running out of number to use.

[dreamz13]

no wonder they tag a Navigator behind. Here's a pic of the old 6110:

This phone was long gone already. Through the years i've used numerous Nokia phones and have been using it ever since.

[HPGuru]

Anyone know when it's coming? Looks nice in latest issue of T3 mag. Pity no Wi Fi, though.

[TrueB1ue]

nice is nice but...if using GPS or surf net, screen too small to be comfort leh

[ForumGod]

do we need to pay for gps service? if yes, hows the charge?

[raymysterio]

how's the time taken to lock the satellites for this phone, wonder if it is faster than N95

[TamiyaEVOwrc]

dun have n95, but 6110, gps tracking quite fast, less than a minute.

route 66 software not bad, quite good in planning routes
only sgp and some part of my bundled in package

but cannot search by postal code, direct address will also fail.
maybe map not updated/detailed enuff?


can install mapking r12 but only chinese version now with english voice

mapking can search postal code, however maps quite hard to get

both gps software are equally good with their own pros and cons.

still have yet to try smart2go

[shamuslee]

nice phone, the white one!

rook like a SE W850i

[kelvintan_hc]

hows the gps work , izzit using gprs to connect if not do we need to pay for it ?

[kelvintan_hc]

hows the gps work , izzit using gprs to connect if not do we need to pay for it ?

[peepee]

Which should I get? E65 w wifi or N6110 w GPS or N95? Can I use E65 and pair w a standalone GPS? I have a Holux GPS.

[andrew_tan88]

hows the gps work , izzit using gprs to connect if not do we need to pay for it ?

No, the GPS works by hooking on to the satellites, so you do not need to use GPRS. (if the maps are already installed). There is no fee for using the satellites too, but if you are say, going to Japan and want to use GPS, you will need to pay for the navigation maps of that country.

For GPRS, you may only need to use it if you want to download map updates etc.

[HUGO15481]

Hi,

Interested to get this phone, since tis is much cheaper compared to N95. Doesn't look very bulky compared to N95 too.

Any kind soul who has bought this toy and played with it, care to give a review of the phone? =:p

My Singtel contract is due soon and hand is itchy to get tis toy this weekend. :D

[TrueB1ue]

but since it smaller...LCD also smaller so how to see Map n surf net on it.................so Bigger screen still better for the feature to wk properly

[Computeron]

is there any other colors beside white n black... hopefully a silver or grey.. white seens fake.

[Seifer28]

From what i heard, this phone got GPS and also A-GPS....

does the GPS needs subscription like the N95???? or the license alreadi provided????

any kind soul can enlighten????

coz if purely using the A-GPS to navigate.......xpensive sia.....charge via GPRS....

[juxtom]

when is starhub launching sia... haiz

[skyrain]

No need xtra item, just click the dedicated button and minutes later you are connected to the satellite.


ps: do it with no roof over you.

[muhammad007]

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-6110-navi-en.shtml :)

[HUGO15481]

seems like the phone is still very new and not many people have got their hands on this toy...

I'm torn between N73, N80 and this baby... dunno which one to buy...

Anyone can help me make a better decision??
I need a phone with a radio, 3G, dual camera (video calls) and definitely a no-bug phone!

Please enlighten... :)

[abrams75]

Got the hp today....darn i did not get the car kit as out of stock...hope to get 1...so far the phone is not bad...GPS detection is much better and faster compare to N95, good audio output too, camera wise...not much of a different to those normal 2mp of other nokia model....but 1 things, the map include just world map only...had to pay 9.95 euro to activate to use singapore map.... :s11: .... :s27: ....nevertheless a good S60 phone thought...

[consigliere]

would you prefer a wifi phone over a gps phone?

[Geforce1]

can I share my 3G connection to my laptop for example through bluetooth?

Interestin to hear that some aspects of GPS superior to N95. But like what others have said, pity no WiFi. Otherwise, it's a gd alternative to N95, if cam quality is not an issue.

[juxtom]

getting this soon... waiting for my voucher... anyway other than no wifi this phone is probably as good as n95...

[KazeLion]

I heard mapking is free, can we download that and use in 6110 navi?

[GT2929]

Hows the lag? is it more laggy then N73?
I never use N73 b4 but had been using N80 for 13months....6110 is far more faster than N80.

[GT2929]

Hi guy, i been using the navigator 4 the past few days and never i had paid any for the map, am i missing something or.....

[jangwl]

You can now have maps from all over the world downloaded to your mobile phone. Discover interesting places with ease, highlight them and get the route. Smart2go is only available for some of the devices running S60, 3rd Edition and Windows Mobile 5.

[KazeLion]

You mean you never pay nothing and you are missing something? Sorry, my angmo no good.

He is asking if he has missed anything as he used the maps for free.

So do we have to pay to use the maps or its free for use?

[bsbsbs]

Congratulation on your new toy, can share where u bought the phone and with what plan? I see SH's website shows $538 for normal plan wor? Good buy for you.... thinking of buying too. Tks.

[klteo]

call up M1 to ask about the GPS. Understand that it will have to activate GPRS to use GPS, as it does not have a built-in GPS receiver. Anyone can confirm?
If it is using GPRS to navigate, then the phone bill will be quite high. Right?

I think M1 anyhow shoot only...stated on Nokia website clearly said 'Built In GPS'.

[TrueB1ue]

GPS does not need GPRS to wk............if u need GPRS for it to wk then u are paying Live data whenever u use GPS then u will be the next $1500 bills customer liao

isnt that the same :s22:

[Densocool]

This baby has twin stereo speakers, tested yesterday at a shop.
It is pretty loud and clear and has a very solid weighty feeling, the back cam cover slides smoothly and firm much like the SE K750i but even better then for the main body slider, the lower part has a stopper edge to prevent the phone's spring mechanism from getting over slide and loose much like samsung's.
Well done nokia for truly able to produce a classy and solid slider model!

GPS got nothing to do with GPRS.. both are 2 different thing. However, sh csr might mean "need to have GPRS to activate the GPS software license"?? Perhapes this is what she meant..

[Nystalia1990]

GPS got nothing to do with GPRS.. both are 2 different thing. However, sh csr might mean "need to have GPRS to activate the GPS software license"?? Perhapes this is what she meant..
GPRS is needed to use for AGPS (assisted GPS). while using GPS no need GPRS.

[masuda]

Guys,Do i need to active the GPS Software first then i can use the GPS ? i can't use it now :(

[Sexual_Hrsment_Panda]

If not driving car then stupid to buy this phone?

[klteo]

I have check, if the phone is unable to detect GPS, AGPS will activate and use GPRS to detect your location. There is a setting in the phone where you can set the phone whether to acess GPRS if GPS is not detected.

[juxtom]

fark up kena bluff... this phone cant use GPS....... chee bye. fug nokia.

[masuda]

fark up kena bluff... this phone cant use GPRS....... chee bye. fug nokia.

What Happen ?? :s8: i can use GPRS lah

[juxtom]

paiseh... chee bye i tulan until type wrongly... its GPS............ THIS PHONE NEED TO USE GPRS TO USE GPS. WTF? Waste my time and $$ buying this chee bye phone.

[masuda]

paiseh... chee bye i tulan until type wrongly... its GPS............ THIS PHONE NEED TO USE GPRS TO USE GPS. WTF? Waste my time and $$ buying this chee bye phone.

Hmmm ya lor i also cannot use the GPS :(

[klteo]

I can use the GPS. but got to be in open space. and very accurate. In order to avoid paying the GPRS, you got to de-activate the networking at the Setting in the Navigator.

[foosoomin]

Wa, lucky i never buy this phone :D


Almost bought it at WM just now

[KazeLion]

Does N95 have the same problem that you need to activate GPRS to use GPS?

[kevpaang]

So whats the morale of the GPS story?6110 navi IS NOT a pure built-in GPS device afterall?If really true...its really very disappointing.

[jamstart]

Cant be leh, on papers, they claimed it is a GPS phone. Maybe some bro tested the phone indoor is it? Dun forget if you are iindoor, GPS is hardly detected. Please clarify again.

[Gabz]

Actually, it is more reliable to have the additional feature of AGPS together with GPS as compared to GPS alone.

When you are at area with high rise buildings or in a tunnel, your GPS would not work as not under the clear sky. This is the time AGPS kicks in by using GPRS to connect to the cellnetwork to determine your location. I would say the implementation of AGPS is a plus point although it comes with a price. :yawn:

[juxtom]

either my phone got problem or kena block by cloud or what.. think im sending it in to nokia... seems damn weak leh cant detect sh!t.

Thanks. anyway just to ask when you activate the GPS Navigator, will it show "Key Synchronization Needed. Continue"?

[kevpaang]

Getting more n more confused liaozz...any kind soul here can confirm 6100 navi is a GPS device by itself?Seriously the idea of having GPRS to guide the GPS really turn me off cos the price la....i dun want to pay a heafy price so as i can reach my destination smoothly.

It is a GPS phone. If you don't want to use GPRS to navigate, you got to be very careful when setting up the phone.

[juxtom]

Ok can use liao... lol...

[jamstart]

Ok can use liao... lol...
Now can use liao? What is the problem? Due to your setting? So is it using GPS, not GPRS? Maybe you can clarify some queries here.

[juxtom]

Confirm it is using GPS not GPRS... when it is using GPRS you will see the GPRS icon(I think). But 1 thing is for sure is when u are using GPRS to activate GPS, you will see number of kbytes at around bottom left hand corner. This time I used, dont have.

But it takes a while for the GPS to be detected... not very fast.

[kevpaang]

Ok can use liao... lol...
Good for u bro after all the hoo-ha which bring good news too!!So did u use the GPS (only) to navigate?So far how zun is it??Any major prob to link up to GPS?

Thks!

[juxtom]

As for whether its accurate, yes I feel its quite accurate.

[klteo]

anyway just to ask when you activate the GPS Navigator, will it show "Key Synchronization Needed. Continue"?

[kevpaang]

Swee...dun no need to worry so much n this Sat can go WM/MS shop shop liaoz.

[juxtom]

anyway just to ask when you activate the GPS Navigator, will it show "Key Synchronization Needed. Continue"?
No leh.......... u better go read manual

[klteo]

There is no such info. on the Manual. Try calling M1 & Nokia to resolve, but they also don't know.
Think I will send the phone down to Nokia Care Centre to resolve, most likely the problem lied with the Licence key.

[aptget]

how's the navigation like so far ?

Can you search by Block Numbers of HDB ?

Does it have Text-To-Voice when navigating (eg Voice to tell you when to turn, instead of looking at phone to navigate when driving)

[klteo]

Does it have Text-To-Voice when navigating (eg Voice to tell you when to turn, instead of looking at phone to navigate when driving)
you can search by Block and Road Name, but the map will not reflect any Block / Building location.
It have a voice guided navigation, tell you where to turn. It will only be able to detect in open air, it won't be able to detect in multi-storey Car-park / indoor. Have not try Tunnel.

[HUGO15481]

I'm really eager to get this phone too since my singtel contract is due..

But do have a few queries and confirmation by anyone who have bought this phone:

1. Do we need GPRS to use the GPS?
2. Do we need GPRS to use the AGPS?
3. The only map that is free is only Singapore & Malaysia (JB n KL). Is this true?
4. Can we install Smart2go into N6110 and have a free download of other countries map?
5. How is the battery life of the phone? (Calls+SMS+MP3/radio+maybe a bit of GPS)
6. Understand that the charger port and the earpiece jack is on top of the phone, does it cause any inconveniences when using the phone/listening to music?
7. How does the slider feels?

Guess wif this 7 questions answered, I can more or less decide whether to adopt or abort this baby? :s13:

Thanks to all the good samaritans who will be answering my queries. :)

Too bad the phone does not have WLAN, if not it'll definitely be a perfect phone minus e 5MP of N95, which partly explains the 4 figure for an N95 and 3 figure for an N6110.

[progene]

After all this GPS, AGPS, GPRS issues..can i summairsed the following, correct me if i am wrong.

GPRS---> to go online, similar like Wlan, but Wlan is FOC, but GPRS got to pay, as according to your operator charges...most hp have these option.

GPS, ---> connect ur HP to a satelite to find your exact location and to determine your destination. Is FOC, as long you can find and log on to the satelite.

AGPS ---> connect to your operator via GPRS to locate satelite, thus you got to pay GPRS data.

I think, so far N95 have GPS only whereas N6110 Navigator have both GPS & AGPS option.

Am i right? Bros??

[juxtom]

i think once u have GPS, you will have AGPS...

now i realised can detect satellite but sometimes cannot pinpoint location... damn weird.

[progene]

hmm..den how to detect Agps in N95??

[blackslayer]

Will this 6110 be better than Hp 6515?

[klteo]

Hi, anyone know whether the Route 66software and the map in N6110 is a trial version or already a licensed version?
And also if there is a updated version of the map, where can we download?

[aptget]

it shouldn't be a "trial" version, from what I've read, its a full version for specific country it has been sold to. But if you travel to eg. Japan, you've got to pay for it if you want to use.

Not sure about an "updated" version

[klteo]

But If we use the Route 66 Sync disc to view, it will show that the Singapore and Malaysia Map in the 6110 Navigator is not activated.

[bits66]

Any idea if we can install maps to the phone, eg. agis, mapking, malsin...?

[GT2929]

Hi ppl, i had called M1 to check if is free to use the GPS, their reply was that it charge according to GPRS rate, but their reply was totally B***S*** !!!!! I had tried using the navigator WITHOUT the SIMCARD and is working fine. To comfirm i"m right i called nokia and they said is totally to use the GPS.

After using the navigator for more than a week, i would say the phone is worth buying, the GPS is really doing it job. For your infor, i'm a part time taxi (new)driver, so i do depend(80%) on the navigator.

[HPGuru]

Was at NCC Suntec yest and saw the dummies for both black and white versions. Quite cool looking.

According to Nokia Sales Staff, map software used is Route 66. You will have to incur GPRS charges when you first activate the maps (SG & MY maps are pre - loaded). Subsequently, 1 touch of the Navigator button enables you to pinpoint your location.

[dickchingus]

anymore reviews.. the thread suddenly so quiet..

[aptget]

Any idea if we can install maps to the phone, eg. agis, mapking, malsin...?

don't think so

[surfers_]

Nope, N95 does not need to activate GPRS to use GPS.

Does N95 have the same problem that you need to activate GPRS to use GPS?

[titank]

Hi All,:s7:

(i) Can we use a bigger capacity memory card like 2G? In that case how can we transfer the Map from the exisiting 512MB card?

(ii) How to straight away use the GPS?My HP it always prompted me to connect to GPRS which is chargeable :s11:

[abrams75]

Do U guys who own the 6110 had problem getting the car kit set??? Darn been looking for so long..yet dun have....anyone know where can get or sell? :s12:

[ggkandy]

anymore reviews.. the thread suddenly so quiet..

:s13:

On picking up the N95 for the first time, it is evident that this is a smartphone that has gone a diet compared to some of its predecessors. It is light in the hand and, as is typical of slider phones, has short stubby dimensions. The N95 manages to fall into the camp of phones that feel smaller than their dimensions suggest. Compared to both the N80 and N93, the N95 feels considerably smaller. It compares favourably with the Nokia N73 (it's shorter, but slightly wider). There's a large 2.6 inch screen which looks absolutely great, below this are the main control keys. First impressions are that these keys are well laid out and easy to use. The big S60 application key is particularly good. A quick push on the bottom of the device pushes the screen up to reveal the full keypad. Each row of keys is on its own ridge and there is good tactile feedback. They feel a little cramped after the large keypad on the N93, but are a big improvement over the N73's and N80's keypads.

It can support up to 2gb, maybe you can do a copy to 2gb and see whether it work.
You acitivate the Navigator > go to option > Setting>Extras>, at the network setting change it to "do not allow". that should solve the GPRS problem.

[phayze]

Anyone know the intergrated GPS is how many channel? What is the TTFF?

[hoobastalib]

guys its mention tat it takes a while to connect to the gps, jus how long is a while? 5 min?

[BuShuang]

Model from Nokia - Holder Easy Mount HH-12 and Universal Holder CR-39. is this the car kit? Or are u guys talking abt the DC-4?

[titank]

guys its mention tat it takes a while to connect to the gps, jus how long is a while? 5 min?
I think it took maybe like almost 10 miuntes to coonect to the GPS satellite yeah! :s31:

[starfish_story]

guys its mention tat it takes a while to connect to the gps, jus how long is a while? 5 min?

Took less than 2 mins for mine. :) it's definitely faster than N95's GPS.

I will attempt to explain in SIMPLE terms the relationship between GPS, AGPS and GPRS.

1) GPS is a system to get your location anywhere on earth. It is done by mathematical calculations based on the time taken for a signal to travel from the satellite to your reciever. You need to get signals from 3 satellites minimum to get longitude and latitude which is sufficient for most navigation. You need signals from 4 satellites to get longitude, latitude and altitude. This is true for ALL GPS recievers. GPS communications are one way only, your GPS reciever only recieves signals directly from the satellites but sends nothing back. The GPS service is FREE OF CHARGE world wide. It is provided by a group of satellites put in orbit by the US. It has been free for public use ever since 1991.

2) Assisted GPS or AGPS is a system that provides help to GPS recievers to get a location fix. It is a TWO way communication between a AGPS server and a reciever via the radio tower, in this case the GSM/WCDMA radio towers. It tells your reciever a) Which satellites to look out for in your area, it does this because it knows which radio towers you are near to and the exact location of the radio towers and also the rough location of the satellites. b) It also gives your reciever certain mathematical formulas to fine-tune the calculation of your location. c) It accepts raw data from your GPS reciever, and does the heavy duty calculations for your location so your reciever does not have to do the dirty work, it then sends the computed data back to your reciever.

3) The two way communication of information described above happens over GPRS, the same GPRS that can be used for MMS or surfing the internet. To the telcos, data is data and they will charge accordingly whether the information going thru is AGPS data, an MMS picture or email data.

Because of the above, AGPS enabled recievers can get a location fix faster and more accurately than just with normal GPS. Only problem is you have to pay for the GPRS data connection. The good news is that AGPS data is very compact and will be many times smaller than the data of an MMS with a large picture in it. If you disable AGPS, you can still use normal GPS fixes, they'll just take longer and may have a greater amount of errors.

Mapping software like Mapking make use of the final location fix data to show you where you are on a map. This software is often not free because its very expensive to make maps or license them for use.

Finally, whether your reciever can get a good satellite fix depends on many factors, like cover and weather. At the end of the day, do not expect recievers in handphones to provide fast and accurate location fixes compared to dedicated GPS navigation devices as they have bigger antanaes and chips specialized for computing GPS data. You would be very lucky to get a location fix under 5meters accuracy with handphone GPS devices. The error rate would be closer to +- 15-20meters.

Hmmm... For those who are with Singtel mobile bb or M1bb (HSDPA) plan shld not worry abt the gprs changes, right?

cos the gprs changes is bundled together with BB plan liao...

[pkchair]

Can anyone tell me the cheapest price of this phone with Singtel contract?
Thinking of getting this phone today...

Edit:
Ok, so nobody replied, but I went ahead and got the white one today. $498 with 2 year contract.

So far so good, its been a while since my last nokia, which incidentally was the 8210.

[hoobastalib]

thanks starfish_story and titank for the reply. phew.. i got kinda worried that the 10 min wait was a problem.. i duno abt u guys but i found dat i could connect to the gps faster when im in a bus or a moving vehicle... for those who have problems connecting, can try when u in a bus, esp in a double decker bus. heh.. cos i was so damn frustrated when i couldnt connect in my hse, outside my hse, at the bus stop, etc... i waited for like 5-8 odd min and usually gave up... den after saw the "10 min" reply frm either starfish or titank, i went to try again.. and well.. it works. kinda cool.. especially with the voice speaker... when u wan to navigate from a certain place to another... and i mus say its quite fast for a symbian os fone compared to my old 6600 which was kinda slow.

to those who have the "Key Synchronization Needed. Continue"? , i have tat too.. i got tat after copying the maps from the route66 cd n den *gasp* i tout the gps cannot work liao since it override the singapore and malaysia map from the original and it put there not activated. scared the sh*t outta me. but it works so.. :) aniway to continue after seeing the message, jus press yes and den set the access point and when it ask allow network access... just click Dont Allow cos if allow means use gprs alreadi i tink. hope someone can confirm for me for dat.

overall i love the fone. its fast, the speakers awesome btw... the mp3s play very well on headset, earfones or speaker... even though i minimise the quality. and its symbian means can install lotsa stuffs inside...

an 8.5/10 fone for me!

But if GPS service is FOC worldwide, then why is it that after the 1st 60 days, GPS in N95 and live-navigation can no longer be used? And that there's a one-time registration fee for using GPS at 29.90USD at the website?

[pkchair]

Access to the GPS service is free BUT the software that you use to access the service may not be.

[kennyboy]

haiz...gps is quite a trouble in terms of money.

last time, it's the hardware that costs a lot...software/maps is provided with the hardware.

now. the hardware is cheap, but due to hackers pirating the software/maps between the diff hardware providers, the software is usually linked to the hardware....resulting in software being the deciding factor here.

so if they can't charge you for the hardware since it's built in, they leech you for the software/maps

The best option in terms of singapore is to use garmin xt mobile/malsingmaps. but that would make the n95 built in gps obselete as garmin bt GPSr is needed and is linked to the software.....or have to wait for software to catch up to the n95 hardware....it's an endless cycle.

Hi, the ""Key Synchronization Needed. Continue" problem is the language problem. I got this after removing Malaysia and Indonesia male and female voice. After I install back, there is no more""Key Synchronization Needed. Continue". Maybe if you install a specific Country Map, try installing the language also.

tot sg map already pre-loaded, unless u want to try others instead of route66, but for those who already got this phone, do u still have to pay to activate or can use it straight away since it was stated from cnets review that u only pay for the downloaded map from between S$10-S$50.

you're talking about route66, in which case the map is not free.

from what i recall you need to activate it then after that no need to pay liao.

you can use it str8 away since the singapore and kl and johor map is already loaded in for free to your fone. if u buy a local set tat is. there is no activation needed. n i tink i can confirm tat u dun haf to pay for using the gps. u guys noe y? cos i took out the sim card n use it as a gps navigator only. and guess wat. it works! so basically u dun even need a sim card to use gps. u jus need the fone. hope that clarifies some doubt for non-users or potential buyers. http://forums.hardwarezone.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

[pkchair]

You can use the GPS out of the box (READ: immediately) without any charges for SG and MY. This means that:
- No, you don't have to pay for an activation fee to use it
- No, you don't need to purchase the maps for SG and MY, nor pay to 'unlock' the maps
- No, you don't need to use GPRS

AFAIK, there is nothing to indicate that the MY maps are limited to just KL and JB.

By the way, the GPS is very fast and responsive with little observable lag, although it does take several minutes to start up.

Mark me a very pleased owner :)

Can any of you provide a photo, on the accuracy of the GPS ?


Will be waiting for anyone photo :D

[maxmuzzer00]

any pictures from the users of this phone?

[OrhKweeTao]

:s13:

On picking up the N95 for the first time, it is evident that this is a smartphone that has gone a diet compared to some of its predecessors. It is light in the hand and, as is typical of slider phones, has short stubby dimensions. The N95 manages to fall into the camp of phones that feel smaller than their dimensions suggest. Compared to both the N80 and N93, the N95 feels considerably smaller. It compares favourably with the Nokia N73 (it's shorter, but slightly wider). There's a large 2.6 inch screen which looks absolutely great, below this are the main control keys. First impressions are that these keys are well laid out and easy to use. The big S60 application key is particularly good. A quick push on the bottom of the device pushes the screen up to reveal the full keypad. Each row of keys is on its own ridge and there is good tactile feedback. They feel a little cramped after the large keypad on the N93, but are a big improvement over the N73's and N80's keypads.Ermm... This is the Nokia 6110 Navigator thread... :s13:

[lostboys]

This is a fast, solid and stable phone. Plus the GPS is good, simple and doesn't cost much compared to the N95. Good for those driving but dont want a dedicated gps or with limited budget. You can use the Gps even without your sim card... There a review at the following link http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Nokia_6110_Navigator_Review.php.

gd fone..gd fone...~ :o

[aptget]

Just got the phone and the last time I used a Nokia was the 8210 :p

GPS is a little tricky, while driving, it couldn't get a lock on the satallites but once I place it near the windscreen, it took less than 30secs. no lags whatsoever (compared to my wife's N72), its basically the same as N72/73 but with GPS.

Overall good phone

[shuttlex]

Well it all depend on the weather. If its a bright clear sky, gps signal no problem, very fast. But if its very cloudy, you'll have to wait lah betw 1 to 4 mins. But once get the gps signal it will lock all the way... But the voice navigation is sweet....

You really can't compare with N72/N73 - those are candy bar... Appropriate model comparison is E65 - its twin.. Also the processor speed is different for 6110 to N72/N73 and E65. 369 Mhz vs 220 Mhz. Software also slightly different with latest Feature Pack....

I donno about you guys but for me, the GPS has never been 'fast' for me, even on a clear bright day out on the streets.

I figure thats because I have yet to update the maps from the CD included (I use a mac).

Any word of advice or explanation from users here?

[macho man]

Just want to clarify one thing.

If the Spore and Msia maps are preloaded and for free, how does one get updated maps of Spore in the future if I am not going to use Route 66?

The preloaded map is from which company? Will updates also be free than?

Anyone have any idea?

Thank you.

What do you mean ?

Not 'fast' for you When GPS is Connecting ? or

Not 'fast' for you when GPS is connected and its navigating ???

[pkchair]

Not fast, as in its slow for the GPS to connect to the satellite.

Using the GPS itself is actually quite fast, almost instantaneous when you are on the go and navigating.

[kennyboy]

Couple of questions guys...
1. AGPS means positioning is via PACKET DATA, so means even underground / in shopping centre can get position lock on? If so, how come mine can't seem to get a lock on when im underdground? I set up my positioning method to Integrated GPS + ...., Integrated GPS, and Network mode. If so, how come when im indoors, it keep saying "Getting position...."

2. Any short cut to rotate the map?

Thanks!!

Thanks!!To my understanding..'Getting Position' mean the phone is trying to hook onto the satellite n once it get connected,the satellite icon located on the bottom right hand corner will have the reception bar.
I never try A-GPS yet n dun intend too cos of the charges incurred but till date the GPS serve me well n route navi is quite a breeze n many times the satellite connection is surprisingly fast (under 3mins).There is even 1 time,it got connected almost instantly at my hse carpark!
But its not perfect though..there is 1 time it didnt manage to connect at my gf's open carpark although most of the time it did got connected after a couple of mins.
Phone ring n the voice navi is loud n clear.Cam work well for me cos i arent looking for a cam featured phone in the 1st place.Music player is amazing loud.As for the rest of the functions,its those typical Nokia standard features.
Only setback i got is the voice navi cos once the BT earpiece got connected to the phone,the voice navi will be diverted to ur earpiece so for those who dun really like to put on the earpiece by the ear while driving like me,u wont be able to hear the voice navi.Other than that,this phone basically rocks big time!

Agree with you, this phone rocks big time, cheaper somemore.. The gps and gps voice navigation is easy, fast and simple to use... (of course not 100% perfect)..


The Agps fucntion is integrated in the phone software, no need to connect to GPRS.. If don't believe just take out your sim card and try use.. It will work the same...



For me, I am using BT headphone (not earpiece) while driving, so voice navigation, listening to music and receiving call all 3 in 1...

[kevpaang]

But 1 thing i still cant figure it out though. Under 'Setting'>'Phone Setting'>General'>'Positioning'>'Positioning Methods'
There are 4 options : 1)Bluetooth GPS 2)Integrated GPS with a... 3)Integrated GPS 4)Network Based
Any kind soul out there can figure out option 2 the 'a...' is what?Only word i can think of is 'Assistance'.If i check this option,will it mean i had on the expensive A-GPS feature?

the worst is they don't even be bothered to update the map. That's the problem with Western/European companies....similar situation for most asian countries.

Really cross your fingers and hope.....

In the mean time hope malsingmaps can be used on 6110 somewhere in the future.

If you click on Route66 Store in the phone, there's an "update" for Singapore maps @ EU$ 9.95

The problem is, I have no idea which version.

You can try clicking on it while you're in Navigator and you'll be prompted to download it, and later it'll ask for your credit card details etc.

Can some one who has updated tell us any thing ?

[aptget]

I too am not sure how to update the maps, or even if its possible to.

The bundled Route66 software does not have any options to update the maps.

yes it does

fire up your navigator > options > extra > maps > route66 store

and choose your region

BUT YOU HV TO PAY EURO 9.95

[pkchair]

Thanks for clarifying.

But that hardly seems fair at all. Nokia really should offer free updates to the maps already given free.

( free printer, free nokia kit, free route66 map )hm.. the map is free.. the nokia kit also free... the only thing i didnt get was the printer... but i bought it at 490 without any trading in.. of cos recontracting my line. so... 298+200=498... i dun tink its a misprint.

just my 1 cent worth hehe..

Just last week it was advertised in M1 shop for $498 + $200 trade in

But 1 thing i still cant figure it out though. Under 'Setting'>'Phone Setting'>General'>'Positioning'>'Positioning Methods'
There are 4 options : 1)Bluetooth GPS 2)Integrated GPS with a... 3)Integrated GPS 4)Network Based
Any kind soul out there can figure out option 2 the 'a...' is what?Only word i can think of is 'Assistance'.If i check this option,will it mean i had on the expensive A-GPS feature?Any experts can advice on this matter??

[Rheopaipo]

Hi, can i ask u guys what is the purpose of the Navigator Kit ?

[aptget]

i don't even know that a Navigation Kit is included :(

i wonder if I can make a claim on the 'free' gift

[hoobastalib]

keypaang im sure a little google search wldnt b dat difficult for u rite? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS heres an explaination. n i tink it has already been mention by a fellow forumer somewhere in this thread. AGPS means it connects to a server to determine your location instead of the 4 satellites.. AGPS is usually used in the case where u cant connect to GPS as in when u r under a roof, in the mrt underground.. etc etc... to connect to server.. it will use GPRS...meaning MONEY.

[hoobastalib]

navigation kit is the car holder... u can put the fone on the holder for navigation purpose.. so that u dun haf to hold the fone n drive

The map used by the hp needs to be in .map or.prm format. I have tried converting a malsing map into .map format.

However problem is once I copy it into the memory card, the stupid Navteq program does not allow me to choose the desired map from a particular folder. I could not even see the pre-loaded map in any of the folders of the memory card.

My guese is that either Nokia locked the software or the Navteq software is hidden by default, forcing you to use only the Route66 maps, and not any other maps that you wish to used.

The converted map I created is in the same format as the preloaded map, meaning if someone can actually find out where the folder that stores the Navteq map is located, I can at least try out the converted malsing map.

Wonder if and hack guru can look into this.

As fo the nav car kit, for those buying this hp without contract beware. The nav kit IS suppose to come with the purchase of the 6110. There are some outles who will tell you that the nav kit deos not come along at the advertised price, you need to pay more for it. Its bulls***.

Price range from $628 to $728 for this hp that comes with the nav kit. So ask around 1st before you buy. But my take is that the price of this hp will fall soon. Be patient and wait for it if you are not buying with a contract.

hmmm...you can convert a malsingmap into route66 format? i never knew of such a conversion.

[jamstart]

Can anyone tell me what is the version of this Route66? Went to the website and there are 2, one is Version 7 and th other is 2005.

[starlight85]

I called Nokia to clarify on the GPS software and any possible charges to use 6110 and the customer service officer clarified that there is no charge to using the GPS (as what previous posts mentioned that it's using the free satellite), and as for the software, the EUR29.90 or whatever cost mentioned before, we don't have to pay, UNLESS we opt to upgrade to premium service (i think its for additional functions like status of traffic light, places to eat etc). So If we don't opt for premium services, the maps and software is free forever! No limit such as after 2 months must pay.

So yup, i hope its a good buy!

Anyone knows whether the printer still have stock by M1 at tampines mall branch? They say "while stock last", i very scared buy already they tell me no stock. Wonder if they have other better promo this weekend.

[kevpaang]

Hi hoobastalib,I do understand the diff between GPS & A-GPS but nevertheless,i thank you for your explaination.
Actually what i like to know is as what i mentioned below cos i still couldnt figure out what is the meaning of the 'A' at the back of the 2nd option. Just hope some kind soul here can help me to clarify this pt.

did you remove or add any thing(example language or map) to the Navigator ?

The current map on our navigator is really old.

Its shows that i bash through a jungle when there is a road leading to Petir.

Anyway to get updates to our maps??

Its a cool phone. :s7:

if based on the workings of a gpsr, then a startup in the same location as when it was last switched off, a fix would be acquired faster. if startup in a new location, more time is required for it to acquire a fix.

that would be a reason for the timing difference. of course...the location of the area and whether there are many buildings/clouds/trees blocking the sky could be a factor too.

hi guys.. can the camera infront of the phone take photo? or is it just for 3G pupose??

no firmware out at the moment, how to "upgrade" / update ?

i think that this phone can upgrade firmware ourself uisng the nokia installer from website.

there is no firmware newer than 3.51 (current phone) at this moment.

[chaikw]

i also face the same problem,
the gps sometime can get connect very fast <10 sec.
but sometimes it take forever to get connect.

any solution ???

[chaikw]

the 6110 preload with the 'real player' application for video playback.

i realise that some mp4 files cannot play direct and must go thru the nokia video conversion for playback.

furthermore, playback those converted mp4 files from start is ok,
but after fast forward, it seem like the those static background in video frame is not refresh according and cause garbage viewing.

anyone know other better free video player for s60 3rd os ???

[chaikw]

the 6110 come with the headset hs-42.

anywhere to get its user guide ???
i check nokia website & the package user manual & CD,
cannot find.



what is the function for side button between vol + & - and
the front square button ???

[chaikw]

so far, the nokia original protector cover is not ready yet.



if you want to buy the silicon (soft rubber) protector cover type,
i have tried it and the result is no good because it slip easily while push the slide.

the cheap hard plastic (<$3) transparent cover seem ok base on its low price.
for front portion is ok but
the back portion is not very fix at the bottom side.
But, still can work

[kennyboy]

i also face the same problem,

GPS has different speeds of fixing depending on location and last known area.

First, you need to best be in an open area with less trees/buildings/clouds. Also, you need to be stationery. It's harder for it to fix a moving target.

Once that is settled, the last location of your fix stored in phone is important too. For a fast fix, it will take your last known location and compare to current location...if same, the fix will come quickly.

If not the same location, the whole acquiring of satellites start all over again, thus requiring more time. That's why GPS is optimally a vehicular solution, cos last known point is usually the same as current location.

Just google for "GPS, cold start, warm start" and you'll know all about it.

But your last few posts...you seem to enjoy a monologue don't you? :)

[kensh09]

For those who are puzzled why sometimes it takes a long time to log in to the GPS, note that the amount of time it takes a receiver to lock on to satellite signals depends on how long it's been since the last lock on, and how far from your last known location you are. The receiver apparently keeps a log of the satellites' last known positions in the sky, and the closer they match this log the quicker the lock-on happens.

The amount of time it takes to lock on to satellites varies from device to device. When outside and doing a "cold start" (where you start searching for satellites for the first time after a long break), the 6110 Navigator managed to get a satellite fix within one or two minutes. When doing a "hot start" (where the break between satellite fixes is brief, for example if you exit the GPS app and re-enter it soon afterwards) the 6110 managed a fix within just a few seconds. Once the phone had found enough satellites to determine its position, it stayed locked on, and the navigation application could be left switched on in the background all day if required.

Hi guys, am in thailand now and tried to use 6110 just to track my route as i move.

I understand it has no thailand map, but isn't there a way to use it just to trace my path on a blank map?

when i turn it on, i can see the speed, but rather than show me my path as i move, it just keeps showing me on my last location on the singapore map. i just wanna start tracing my path, so i can know how to backtrack later on...


appreciate any help

If there isn't any Thailand map in 6110, how to backtrack? Like you said, it only show SGP map. Only way to do it is to go buy the Thailand map and d/l to your phone.

[underage]

Don't worry brother... you can go to any phone shops there to help u load... They already have... MBK also can... Remember to share with me your map when u come back... Cuz i just transfer the Bkk map to my new phone... But when i want to use it... they ask me to buy license key... Damn it...

Some GPS system is able to backtrack your path, so it is useful if u are in jungle area. Does 6110 have this function too?

well, if a track is all you want, the nokia sports tracker will do fine.

http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/SportsTracker/

it's basically a sports app to calculate how far you jogged. For your needs it also tracks your movement in a past track. so you can see the path you are taking. no map involved here, just a line on black space following your movement.

Best of all, you can export the track out to software like Google Earth to see exactly where you've been. Nice and free stuff from Nokia.

Please lah, this only a phone man ..with built in gps, not some dedicated expensive gps system that can backtrack bla. bla. bla... Its good enough already. Simple, fast and inexpensive.. thats all we want.... So don't expect too much this and that lah..... Anyway not many inexpensive phone have this built in gps.... Price might go lower...


We're more concerned how to get the latest route66 map update only... Anyone with any info.....

Anyway the Nokia Sports Tracker is good to have function.....

This phone is not consider low-end... Look at the design... The slider... And the screen. Camera and everything... If you want to compare... Compare it with the 6280... Its like one HEAVEN and one EARTH... Camera is much clearer... Flash is brighter... Sliding mechanism is smoother...For both the Camera and phone slider..
Well done NOKIA!

i bought the microsd card which comes with a sd card adapter.i tink most of the micro sd cards i saw came with it. so from there i jus copy n paste like a normal sd card... OR u can also connect the usb to your phone... n use the pc suite... or as a storage device if im nt wrong...

[lostboys]

haha cool, thx for the clarification. :D
and yea just as aptget asked, how did you tfx the data to the new card?


It easy, just set your Windows setting, under Tools, Folder Option, "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

Then you copy everything from your original micro card and make a copy on your Windows hard drive folder. Take out original card (512 mb), insert new 2 gb card, format it first under yr Phone "formatting", then go to folder on your hard drive that you make a copy, then dump everything to the new 2 gb card. Thats it..

But guys, please keep the original (512 card) for backup, in case you need it again or in future when you want to sell your phone...

[Sambuca78]

you write the software lor...we use. :)


u buy me the phone, i try... :)
