no GPS software, not included Java, we did not run anything Java. has problems with setting the default keyboard, depending on installation language you use, you will find the translation error and differences in interface and shortcuts. no default keyboard emulation phone numbers on display, the buttons you can quickly delete. Phone or mail to contact the manufacturer for help, no updates for many bugs, etc.. I also bought a model from Romania, you can not find compatible applications just difficult and few, especially games.
My model has an internal partition of 1Gb .. about both
very bad english...

to mikimaus: no it cannot serve as a radar detector but some gps software (for example igo8) have the major video camera locations and there is a audio alarm when you approach any of them.
so install igo8 and the software will tell you when you get near any

I've played with it in a store. It looks OK, but it comes without any maps. You have to buy them separately and it cost aprox. 200 Euro extra + aprox. 450 the phone....which is a lot. Any idea if you go to "the guys" they can install you the maps??

When the phone rings the GPS pauses and you answer the phone, that means you can talk, and the GPS comes back when you hang-up the phone.

To Romanian owners: I've heard that it works also as a radar/camera detector? Is this true?
And while using GPS, if you receive a call there are problems?
Thanks for the answers!!!!

I'm somewhat puzzled as to why people are comparing this device to certain other products on the market, such as the N95 etc. Last time I saw an N95, it relied on a net connection to provide maps for the current GPS area and even still, it did not actually have any routing software (I'm open to correction here if the situation has changed). I've recently used an E66 (another Nokia GPS-enabled phone) and the maps seemed incredibly slow (scrolling/zooming etc). I've just purchased an A702 which came with routing s/w included, and of the maps of course therein. Map scrolling zooming was much better than with either of the Nokia devices mentioned above. Despite what I've said, I'm a Nokia advocate and was thinking to get an N82 (basically an N95 in different form factor) when I saw the A702, which seem to good value to pass up. I hope it will stand up to regular use as a phone, not juse as a PDA/GPS.

It is truly wonderful to have an intelligent assessment. The main drawback you point out for me is the Wifi/blue tooth inadequacy. Is there another device you would suggest, with both keypad and writing recognition, as well as a decent camera, that you find preferable?

Mio A702 is a pretty cool device, with some pros:
- *really* bright display and torchlight
- excellent GPS
- 890MB of RAM
- nice keyboard
- good camera
- good performance with MioMap
- low weight
- really loud speaker, this one can beat a lot of people in subways playing hiphop music, but your heavy-metal is louder :)
Yet the downsides:
- WLAN (CSR combo Wifi/BT chip) *sucks ass*. It takes sometimes 20 tries to connect to an AP that is 2m away, and you can't initiate a full AP scan.
- Microsoft Multimedia Framework not implemented => no barcode reading, as software can't access the cam
- WiFi scanners not supported, I suspect similar issue to above
- No joystick - this is real sucky. Yet even more suckish is you can't replace this with a software joystick :/
- Device gets sold without any navi software in europe! Either have to buy one from your favourite dealer or get MioMap from torrent sites, this is not acceptable with a 410€ (including taxes) mobile phone!
- Support: They answer fast through their support center, but they can't help you with FW bugs (such as that you can't adjust the lighting time of the torchlight, that wifi scanners dont work and the WMM Framework is missing)
- SLOOOOOOOOOW bluetooth file transfer (40 Kbyte/sec!)

Does anyone know if it is possible to dial on screen instead of keypad? Also I'd like to know if there is any option to avoid the phone to turn it off after few minutes. I really got upset when I go to dial and I realize it had changed to stand-by mode needing to pressing "power button" to turn it on again.
