I'd be interested in a comparison of the Mio A701 and the E-Ten G500. They are quite similar. The main differences as far as I can tell are that the G500 has voice command software, quad-band, and TMC function, but a mini-SD slot rather than SD. Does anyone know if this mini-SD is sdio capable for adding WIFI? The mio SD slot is SDIO.

On paper, then, the E-Ten looks like it offers a bit more, but I'd have to see a complete review of both to be sure.

Hi congrats on your new phone! I was wondering, my car has bluetooth built in for handsfree voice dialing, without voice dialing on the phone, will the cars voice dialing still work? Thanks in advance.

got mine on sat 11 march. put TomTom 5 on it, works like a charm, only drawback apart from no wifi , is no voice dialing. i also think the stylus is a bit weak, other than that its an exelent peice of hardware, would give it 9/10. got mine at http://www.superetrader.co.uk/...ducts_id=375

It's available in a few UK stores that will ship overseas. It's actually officially in stock in most stores. I bought mine from clove.co.uk

I'll post more when I get it.

Is this phone really coming out or that company just trying to fool the stock market?
I like this phone and think it's a great phone. However, I've been waiting for more than 3 months already. Now it's mid March already. I am really wondering about this phone will they come to US

Why this phone doesn't have Wlan?
It's useless for me without that.
Ok, I'll buy card for Wlan, but this phone has only one slot, which is already occupied with 1GB memory card - whithout this card I can't work. Any idea,solution, some similar other phone?
I heard that exists cards with wlan and memory together. But does exists with 1 GB memory?

MMC and SD slot are usually together (just one slot)

Does someone know if this phone has separate slots for both MMC and SD. If so you could use the SD slot for a wifi card and the MMC slot for memory expansion!

In love with this phone but wifi is a must in this internet world.

But no wi-fi and no support fot UK 7-digit postcodes, sadly. Can add SD wi-fi, I suppose, so probably the best all-in-one currently available. I think I'll wait for something better though.

I've been looking a long time for a new phone. I'm now choosing between the QTEK S200 and this one but I think that it will be this one.

Differences between QTEK S200:
+ GPS
- Wifi
- Bluetooth Version 2
- IrDa

Yeah, phone looks really smart. Looks like March is now confirmed as release date. It was due around October last year.

This site has delivery for early March www.supergps.co.uk. Probably in time for the launch at CEBIT.

According to this eshop http://www.clove.co.uk/product...lement=26657 the phone will be available in March. I will buy it since there is no better communicator/gps bundle available. Great cpu, memory ok, latest s/w, gps..... (Maybe the screen is a bit small for gps but I'll live with that)

Hi,

Anyone knows if the GPS chip be able to provide aviation Data (speed/distance/Altitude/Heading etc...).

Well the previous post mentionned that the A201 was able to take any GPS software , is that known for a fact? (it would be sweet if the A701 does the same ... you guessed it for aviation software :-) ... thanks).

Cheers,

Well, it uses the SiRFStar III -- which is a darned good GPS chip. I'm hoping they follow the A201 and allow you to install whatever GPS software you'd like, rather than the 268/269, which comes prepackaged with TeleAtlas things (TomTom uses SiRFStar w/ TeleAtlas maps, btw). No clue on the phone quality, though ...
