If that is true, it sux big time!! :eek:

With things changing fast... like shops, banks and whatever other establishments, and even new roads coming up, etc., etc., maps need to be updated to be useful. :(

If there are indeed no updates, LG has taken us for a bit of a ride. :Frustrati

Is New SGS available in blr ? Where?

If you are staying anywhere near Jayanagar area, then Devendra in jayanagar 4th block has the stock.

Just got my self a liquid metal , went to sun times , jayanagar , bangalore , to upgrade to another nokia - e72 , acer liquid metal was too good for eyes to ignore, had an eye on liquid E ferrari for some time , metal looks more classy in hand when compared to E , costed 19K after discount , after nearly 10 years of being Nokia client shifted to lesser know name acer -:uncontrol , first time had to read the user manual to operate the phone , will keep you all posted on the good and bad things about this liquid metal acer

Price of new LG Optimus one with B & W , down to 10 K on ebay.. good deal ? or is a new version on the way?

Yeah, definitely. Just now i came off sangeetha at 9th blk, J'ngr where the best price is INR 11350/- for LG Optimus. Usually web sites always offer better price coz of lesser overheads. But would there be a better deal in any other brick n mortar place?

Depends on you. Upto you if you would like to keep two map applications. you'll have to decide what suits you best. AFAIK, ndrive maps pre-installed on the Optimus 1 is only a trial version.

Raju, Tanveer : is the pre-loaded ndrive on optimus 1 is a full version or only a trial version?

NDrive pre-installed on Optimus One is the full version. Not a trial. But it has only India map pre-loaded. If you want to use it in US or some other country, you'll have to buy the map for it.

i think sangeetha is prolly the best bet for prices right now. Way better than chroma and univercel. How much are the Galaxy Ace and Moto Defy going for at Sangeetha?

Hi All ,

i have ordered MMI maps ( NCR) for 790 , I have been given a download link for a windows installation . Any idea of how to do put it in the Sansung Galaxy 3 ?

1. Download the link and run setup which installs sygic assistant on your PC.
2. Important step - change USB storage mode to mass storage mode, connect phone to PC.
3. Unlock phone (if its locked) and select option to mount the USB mass storage device (using the drop down menu on main screen).
4. Your phone will be displayed in computer with a drive letter
5. Start sygic assistant, it will detect the phone and then select option to install the software with maps to Phone.
6. When you start for first time it will ask for activation key. Go to sygic website and enter the product key MMI sent you in email. This will generate a license for you.
7. Use this license to activate NCR maps.

Hope it helps.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Ace he said some 15K n change. Did not ask about defy. But somehow had this feeling he was more pushy about samsung models, when i was keen on optimus one.

yeah this place (AXIS PDA store) down the street from me said they would sell the Ace for 14990. Yeah 15k makes sense. I wonder how much i can get for my E72 now.

You should be able to get it a little cheaper. I bought mine a couple of weeks back for Rs 14,500.

Me too got the ACE in Pune for 14500. Check in a few more places, you should get it for this price or maybe even lesser.

Hello,

I have ordered an Orange SF grey from CPW and awaiting delivery. I am keen on installing a custom ROM on my OSF.

Any idea which version of the Froyo 2.2 or Gingerbread 2.3 is efficient and stable without WIFI-3G disconnections and maintains good battery life.

Looking forward to your recommendation and guidance.\

Cheers!
