Go to the Microsoft Mobile Website either on your PC or on your device:

Download and install the small patch, and you should be okay after that.

Could you please post when you do receive a newer SatGuide version from ASUS. I have also seen the hanging issue, although only twice in the one week that I have had this device. Let's see if an update fixes it.

The time lagging issue is actually pretty irritating, since it keeps on reseting my system clock back by 30 minutes every time I exit the application. Not sure if the update will take care of this issue.

Finally, thanks a TON for suggesting Google Maps - I didn't even realize that they had an option to use the inbuilt GPS! You were right - while SatGuide could not find a signal inside buildings and within a few areas, Google Maps was able to find 3-4 satellites in each case!

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-06-12 13:32 from 2@6CI just bought it last week, and it does not come with any memory card included. In my case, the vendor copied over the SatGuide software on my own MicroSD card which I had carried over with me.

As for the GPS performance, it is awesome in and around Delhi. I live in Noida, and have been watching the GPS on the last couple of trips to Delhi - it was a great experience (probably also because this is my first GPS). It displays all the main roads and small streets correctly, and even has the names for most of them.

I had tried Blackberry, HTC, Nokia, Sony, but this one is much better in almost all respects. I am enjoying it.

Yes you can see the cities specifically GPS is meant not for seeing cities but locating your house in any street in any city. This phone is capable of doing such moreover you can monitor your speed.

> In reply to Ashish @ 2008-06-01 13:58 from 2@4RHi Ashish, Nice to hear your comments on Phone & maps. I am using SatGuide & other products since a year & recently i purchased Asus P527. I found the new bundled updated maps & destinator 7 are fantastic compare to others. And its not only better than HTC for pricing but also for GPS service with India's 1st & best GPS Navigation System (where you NEVER GET LOST).

Asus phone support has told me that they will provide me a new version of Satguide that may not hang. ( see my review below).

The touchscreen lock functions only if you do not use the volume control on the right side of the phone. If during the call, if you change the volume jogwheel, the screen gets unlocked and touches your ears.

The clock is getting lagged. Asus support did not say anything about that execpt for 'correct your clock and check it for a while'.

Overall, as a phone, it is much better than most other phones.

As a PDA , it lags behind due to processor.

A good combo at a good price. But i wish Asus support and Satguide Maps were a little more usable.

I loved the way Google Maps with GPS worked on that. Google maps could locate 5 satalites wheer as satguide software kept on waiting for signal in the same phone at the same location.

For GPS facilities like that of N95 Noika navigator or E 90 install a module in this phone. For touchscreen activate automatic lock within 10 seconds then no features will get activated while talking. Automatic lock facility is there in the phone only.
Comeone I am using this phone and it doesn't hang so much as you said my phone hardly hangs once in two weeks or once in a month. For advanced browder facility install softwares man this is a WM phone you don't need to worry use it like a laptop.
