This is my second A701 in the last two mouths. First one had lots of problem crashing when receiving calls and alarm does not sound. Second replacement one was great for 6 weeks and have the same crashing issue, reminders and alarm came on when it is not suppose to. Worst still the screen breaks up in red colours when the phone is handle/touch. Not much help from Mio except to return it for repair. Very disappointed. Yes screen is impossible to read in the sun and missed lots of call due to low vol ring tone. GPS is fast, concept of having GPS,phone,etc is great but reliability is appauling. MP3 sound is great, as good as IRivers I had though no equaliser setting. Slide show stop when divice auto power safe cuts in. No time setting for side show.
Does anybody out there experience this difficulty. I totally lost confidence with this unit. Had a Sony P800 and went through hell with it but it never missed a beat. Mio map Sd card is only 256Mb and if copied to another card will not work thus need to carry another card for photos and music. Is there another brand out there that will do the same job reliably and as compact?

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to install T mobile settings for MMs and wap on this handset, and if so how?

this phone does not come with any GPS software, if you want to use GPS on this phone, you have to buy the software, and they cost alot LOL.

HI! I just bought the MIO A701 and I'm in the U.S. I am completely confused! How do I get GPS on it? I have to buy the system and then install it? Can someone please help? Also, how do I use my MP3'S for ringtones?
THANKS :)

Its a sweet phone and with MioMaps, it works as the best PDA phone. As we use more & more, we started loving it more & more.. Works fine with a wi-fi card for wireless connection. Connection was not good when using Skype on wi-Fi... Anybody used skype on it ?

Hi,
I wanted to get the MIO A701 but was told that I have to wait because appararently there is a "new" batch coming in Mid October. Is this the upgrade version, sorting out some of the problems (e.g. com port, voice problems, GPS, etc.) which I read from the email correspondences posted on this site?
There's not a lot mention about A701 as a PDA, its capability in Word, Excel and Outlook.
Any thoughts to share on the above subjects is much appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, you can have a phone call with the GPS functionality active.
I personally use mapopolis. When a call comes through, it covers the bottom portion of the screen, you can click answer or reject call. When you answer the call, it brings it full screen, until you are done. Once you are finished with the call, you close the phone app, and press your GPS hotkey, if you configured it, and no issues, back to normal.
