I am thinking of buying this phone but could anyone tell me how the GPS works? Can I use my TomTom software with this phone or do I have to buy a map subscription?
Thanks in advance

robert, 07 Feb 2009how much time does it take to be fully charged and how many days it keeps charge?2.5 hrs to charge,,i am doing test now to see standby times,,looking forward to getting my innov8 back when test is over its a brilliant smartfone..
@NICK it just shows how much they added on to the innov8 16gb version when the cards are cheaper by comparison,,can you not say you will accept 8gb version with £50 discount,,??remember its haggle teritory even more these days with credit crunch???

Anonymous, 08 Feb 2009I'm gutted ! i've had the 16gb version of this handset since it was released in September but ... moreI got mine sim free from carfone and they only do 8gb version..I have yet to see the 16gb version in real life but play.com were doing it for £579 sim free but was not in stock every time i checked..My n82,,n95-1,,xperia and innov8 have all struggled a bit with the 16gb card which i thought was faulty but its fine now ,,its because swapping it from n82 to xperia to innov8 is generating problems with different programme files and other files causing incompatabilty between the handsets...When i put my card full off 2500+ mp3 plus pickys and mbs of video it does take some time to open and for music player to update or refresh ,so, maybe smartfones are nearing the limit of card operating comfortably enuf for them work smoothly..???

I'm gutted ! i've had the 16gb version of this handset since it was released in September but recently it had to be repaired due to the usb/charger connection becoming faulty as well as other faults. I got the phone back from repair then the earpiece became faulty and had to take it back. I was then told the handset could not be repaired and was offered the 8gb model with a 8gb micro SD as a replacement. Obviously I tuned this down as an 8gb micro sd is hardly worth the £50 difference inprice I paid. I've been told the 16gb version has been discontinued. I've been told I can have an alternative handset but have not been told what it will be. There are no other models currently available that have the same features as the i8510.
I think I may be offered the N96 as an alternative which isn't all that tempting.
I've checked on the Samsung UK website and they don't mention the 16gb version on there either anymore.

should have read,,,
Remember that this test is a general flat out test and innov8 lasts longer than 5hrs 15 mins obviously,, its just some folks may think it only lasts 5hr 15mins..

Anonymous, 06 Feb 2009brynn where are u , what happened , and did u put the back lights to 10 sec after u finished ?Hi,,i kept the backlight on full blast till the unit was fully charged and it took 2hrs and 25 minutes of pressing a button to keep backlight on all the time..This was after the 6 hr charge in fact all i did was what you said..So whats happened?? well i backed up "all" to my 16gb card and on putting back in the phone the card wont work so i have to get some files off it that were causing the corruption..I have had alot of trouble with the card but its been in my n82 then formatted for xperia then formatted for innov8 i think it was corrupt from the start so getting a new one..I have not had time to put any files back on innov8 till now and this is what i intend to do for starters:put drifters video back on using same settings and see if it lasts longer than 5hrs 15 minutes then other tests later..Remember that this test is a general flat out test and that it lasts longer than that obviously its just some folks may think it only lasts 5hr 15mins..
I have been using xperia today and innov8 i took off full charge 6am this morning and its recieved 2 multimedia messages and is still on 7 bars..will put a reply before bed or wwhen innov8 runs out on video drifters test..
P.S. i use drifters cause everyone should have it on their fone so i am not using any odd formats etc..
