Hello'In reply to the above yes we have Vibrtion alarm, GPS is grate up an running in about 10sec max, but you need not change the setting from COM PORT 4 if you do will not work,as for skype no as no wifi. Would I recommend it yes it’s a great sat-nav unit 10/10, Phone’s not bad could be a little better ringer bit low setting little hard to find but they are their, not found how to set music/mp3 as ring tone yet Hmmmm! so 7/10. GPS 10/10 works fine with TomTom. Main reason I recommend this unit don’t like having to carry a phone,GPS box, PDA, see my point car full of chargers speaking of battery 8/10 here but comes with car charger and house charger so what can I say, not to hard to plug it in will last a good time approx 5 days if I could stop playing with it and put it down. are far as I see it the
choice you have to make is wi-fi/skype home internet or carry a gps box with you when you go out and worry about charge it up. I think I can us the home computer for skype and going on internet and just carry phone when out, Take Care
Kind Regards
Carlos

Would it be possible to run an FM radio tuner like the Eten G500 does?

Dear All,
I am keen to get the MIO A701 PDA. But am somewhat confused by the massive price difference between one bought in the UK or one purchased on the web and imported. Is their something to be wary of with the possible cheaper copies?
Regards

Skype would work fine, but you'd need to buy the seperate WLAN SD card for an internet connection,,, unless you wanna use it over GPRS instead!?

Does mio a701 have vibration alarm?? I read in the post that the volume is rather low, so I wonder if there is vibration built-in, because it would solve the problem.

I have this phone for 2 weeks, and I am really happy with it. Is is really an all in one object. The Gps built in it´s great, You don´t need to carry with you any other object.

I read several reviews here and felt i should write a few lines. I have owned the Mio for abt 2 months now.
This unit is defi faster compared to ETEN and weighs less as well. Skype works great. I used TomTom Navigator and it works great too. Gaining access to satellites takes few minutes though. One user said no MP3 ringtone. FALSE. i use MP3 ringtones. The phone has hardly ever gone in a hang. I installed MS Voice Command. Works just fine...even through my Logitech BT Headset. Sound quality over BT is averegish (it was horrible with ETEN). I also use a Septec WiFi card. Works great! The Phone is bundled with tons of accessories unlike the ETEN.
Now the Bad things - (1) Speed Dial is a joke. U cannot dial from speed dial screen. U would need to remember which position who is stored and then directly over keyboard hold and press that number. (2) There is echo problem sometimes, Have to play with volume control to make it dissapear. (3) LCD display absolutely unreadable in daylight. (4) When the device is locked, the shortcut hardware buttons are not locked. (5) Havent see a single ROM Update from Mio yet!
All in all i rank the Mio better over the ETEN units. I am satisfied with this expensive purchase!

Yeah right the ETEN G500 weighs almost 200grams.Thats like carriying a bloody shoe around.Try shoving an ETEN up your rear end heheh.You can get a wifi sd card that weighs 10 grams so 148+10 is 158grams for your wifi enabled MITAC MIO.In the cell phone business 10grams is like shaving 100 kilograms 220pounds of a sports car.Not to mention its 4mm thicker.It`ll make quite a hole in your pocket.
