roar, 06 Nov 2010There is two modes I believe, GPS and Assisted GPS, the later adjusts the position using cell-... moresimply GPS uses satelites for discovering position. but it can take 1-5 minutes to get location, so for it is Assisted GPS - it gets approximate location from cell phone towers, so it can detect with accurancy 500m-2000 meters where phone is located, then look for satelites faster, because phone now knows what satellites are visible in sky in that position - so it can faster get data from those satellites.
i down know how it is with this phone, but in windows mobile i had a program which downloaded sattelite current location for a week where they exactly will be, so it could connect to GPS satellites in less than a minute :)

Anonymous, 10 Nov 2010No. B2710 is still tougher because it is 1ngress Protection 67 certified. B2100 has IP57. They... morei think IP and mil std 810 are different.IP certify protection against dust and water,while mil std certify protection against drop,extreme temperature,humidity.so,IP 67 certified doesnt mean the phone drop proof

B2100 has IP57. They might have just forgotten to put the military standard because we already know it has a high IP certification.

hi all.I have that phone already 2 days and after the first charging the battery is down only with one line after 36 hours of using(new mobile-imagine how!) It is promising a long life battery on a first look. So the only one thing I notice is that that I cannot find where is that altimeter,pedometer is here,but alti-one I do not see!!!I had samsung 2100 and comparing the menus I find slide differences some for good,some worst but you cannot judge,it is not something big.Better coulors than 2100 and bigger,but lighter on weight!For almost 2 days I am having nothing wrong with it i hope it stays like that,price in Cyprus where I am is 156 Euro,so it is OK.
hope that was usefull if you have questions-ask,battery is 1300Amph

This is the most useful phone I have ever heard of. I hope it's better than samsung marine explorer and please release it in asia! I love the idea of having a phone that's shock/waterproof with gps, flashlight, compass, altimeter and pedometer. But it wouldve been better if they included a SOLAR PANEL!!! That's a true outdoor phone.

Mick, 23 Oct 2010I have had this phone about a week and bought it as a rugged phone that I could carry with me ... moreFurther to my previous, I have been doing some battery testing and the torch has an hour cut-off so even if it did come on accidently it would switch off after an hour :-) This phone is really growing on me. Great battery life, GPS locks on and works. Despite the small screen Google maps is useable. I have also been experimenting with TrekBuddy which enables you to load your own maps locally to the phone and the GPS will show you your position. A calibrated map will give you a GBOS grid reference as well. I have bought a 16Gb memory card and this works fine.
