I have used the A701 for since last July (2008) and it took me 6 months to get the GPS to work but now it is great. I bought and installed TomTom 6. I am in the US and on AT&T and everything works now expect when I want to send MMS messages. I can't send or receive pics or videos. I can text fine. Anybody know what the problem is?

I've used The Mitac Mio A701 for about 2 and a half years now and I love it. It has been an amazing device. The only thing I've never liked about the device is that it doesn't have WiFi. I have unlimited GPRS so it hasn't really been a problem, but that would have been nice. The phone looks great and performs well. I use the latest version of TomTom Navigator with a map of the USA on my 4gb SD card. Works like a charm and gets the GPS fix quickly. The phone also comes stock with a program that can be set to automaticaly download an Ephemeris file for quicker GPS fixes. The A701 community has been strong for a long time and you can find ROM upgrades for the A701 to Windows Mobile 6.1 if you look. All-in-all this device has been amazing and I have really enjoyed using it. It was a killer phone when it first hit the streets and still holds its own today. If you can't aford one of the newer $600+ phones then I would say see if you can pick up one of these.

Hello,
I have a MioA701 for about a year and i must say it is a great device. I only have one little problem. As i use the gps-function frequently i would have liked to pass the voice of the gps throught the car speakers. My garage says its impossible but he told me that i can pass the voice of gps through bluetooth. I tried to do this but i didn't find it until now. Can someone please help me? It's extremely anoying that the mounter hides the speaker. It is impossbile to hear the voice of the gps. My MioA701 runs with windows professional and the miomap V3
Thx!!

> In reply to Dan @ 2007-03-23 08:35 from Siaghi, just read your question on navigation.
make sure tomtom card is in device and turned on.
tap the screen for menu options to appear, tap navigate to,
then tap address,
after inputting your adress the navigator will try to find the address,
you will probably find a white bar that will be on the right of the screen,
tap the white bar,
you need to go through the configure menu, you maight find other NMEA GPS is the one to use, on this screen you should see a yelloe and black circle rotating, further down the screen you will see a compass, this is for satelites, the dots inside the compass will be grey to start, along the bottom of the screen will be 14 rows of bars, all will be grey to dtart with,
the dots and bars will turn blue when you have made a gps connection.
press done if this works.
it worked with my version, but i only found it by playing around,
someone advised me to reset the baud rate to 5600, not sure if i needed to.
hope this helps and that you still have your mitac, i am still learning how to use mine and ive had it over a year.
