Hello,

A cousin of mine is returning to India from the UK shortly. And am very keen on calling for an Orange Sanfrancisco which is available pay as you go on the Orange UK website for 99 GBP.

I have a few questions:

1) Is this phone unlocked? If not then how does one unlock it before bringing it down to India?

2) I heard that the phone apart from comes in two display modes - AMOLED and TFT. I want the TFT - now how to differentiate between the AMOLEd and TFT?

Looking forward to your comments.

Cheers!

Black, which maps are you using, do let us know .


This is complex for me :D. Brut maps was easy click, download and install and then cache the maps to sd card by scrolling through maps at different zoom levels.


Yes, MMI sygic is a good alternative but then we want it free, hehe!!!


Thanks Sheetumanu, I observed yesterday that the screen display is on when the navigation is working. Only issue might be that the navigation probably needs a data connection to get going.


I don't why you couldn't get it done. I directly opened the link for brut maps download on phone while being connected to wi-fi and after downloading , it installed itself. No issues with that.


I did the same, followed Clever's post about the same earlier in this thread.


Yes, brut maps does routing but IMO you will need the data connection to get started atleast for the routing(start to destination).
I tried again without data connection, it worked till entering the start and destination point, then it connected to GPS but then it kept showing "getting driving direction" and never went ahead of this.
Tried with basic GPRS too, but again the same thing.
Probably a data subscription pack is needed.


Waiting for your observation Clevermax.

Brut requires data connection for routing, once its done, it may not be an issue as long as the map tiles are in the cache.

Anyone knows the max dB X10i can record.
I am using a app know as Tricorder and its amazing but it uses 0 dB as the max of the mic and displays sound in the negative factor, so wanted to know.
Also -10 dB is = 1/10th, -20 dB is = 1/100th and so on. So want to know what the max is so I can calculate or is there a more reliable app for dB testing?

Thanks for confirming sajjt. So, I was not wrong in my observation. Waiting for others to confirm too.

MMI is available for 1999 for one year only, there's no updates after that. If you need a updated version you need to pay 1999 every year. I think if you've any plans to get a MMI then go for MMI Car Navigation system starts from 6999/ with free updates. This has got a very sensitive GPS chip and its far better than the phone GPS.
