Yes its the GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM! The ones where u can find urself in the map and find a way how to get to another point of interest. I researched in the US shops, BEST BUY!, TEXACO, and some other electronic shops, All have doubts with the use of the maps in Malaysia.
So off I went home to Good Ol Malaysia to seek out this new technology that has just recently been implemented in the market. In March, I went to Low Yat to survey for GPS modules.
NONE!! BUT there were PDA phones that had GPS capabilities. Impressive, I can put it in my car and take it out when I'm done as a phone. and plan my day on it as well.
The first Model I chased was the Dopod 800. It looked like an Palm and looked square. But I kept waiting.
The more I searched the more I was recommended to. And now it has come to two products.
PDA SHOPS vouch for the Dopod 810.
Handphone shops and the rest of the world wants N95.
No clue about the Sony Ericsson
So after much consideration, all these Info has to come down to me to direct my target.
So what is my verdict?..
..
..
the Dopod 810.
Why? you may ask. Why choose the so called underdog?
Chicks dig guys with Hot new Nokia phones!
These are the Top 10 reasons why I'd choose the D over the N...
10) System: Yes Symbian OS looks fancy nice and happening. But You cannot really upgrade its features more than what is given. Like a Java applet compared to a game.
9) Servicibility: Nokia service centers versus just everywhere else and if we are hardworking the web.
8) 3G?: Expecting a traveling life I want to be prepared to have the capability to obtain the full spectrum of WiFi even if if the rumor says that Malaysia will not be allowing 3.5G to function due to it's adverse effects to Navigation.
7) Speakers!: Yea N95 wins here... but I'll probably get a shuffle or a Samsung mp3 player to back me up in this department. And its not like N95 has much apart from a stereo set. And I don't wanna make other ppl suffer for my weird taste of music.
6) Camera: N95 wins as well here. But if u are a tan chong fella, u'll know that I dont really use my phones as cameras. I prefer cameras to do their job not phones to proxy them. And its not like i use 3Mps and up.
5) Control: N95 has no touchscreen which will be a pain in the arse to write stuff draw stuff...
4) Price: Not much difference between the two, but I think its more of functionality of the product that I'm interested in.
3) Outlook: True, N95 looks really cool and sleek, so I'll leave it to the ladies to enjoy that privilege. The Dopod looks alright as well, and I'm quite happy with it, as it looks more hardy compared to the Nokia.
2) GPS: N95 uses a Google interface which would look really awesome if I could test drive it. Sad Sad they wont let me. Mapking in the 810 is alright as the other GPS consoles have, but I'm not sure if they have detailed areas of places like Tumpat, Kelantan and Sungai Petani, Kedah.
... And the number 1 reason why I'd choose a D over the N.... Most things I end up going for either works with a Blade or the number 3, N95 has neither. But the 810's original name is HTC P3600 or HTC Trinity 100.
And there you have it. We'll be right back after these messages don't go away...
