If by 'very good' you mean expensive, slow and ignorant of parts variation within models ( I'm talking blueangel LCD's here) then yes they are. :shock:
If however you prefer cheaper parts and knowledgable people checkout ebay sellers such as myself. 8)
p.s o.p already got the speaker from me for £15. How much are apexlaptop's?....

thinking about getting a bluetooth gps receiver and software. i did a little research but i still didn't get any definite answers for a couple of my questions. can any receiver work with any pocket pc? or can any receiver work with the wizard? can any software work with any gps receiver? if they aren't what are the best match ups for the wizard? I've read that the garmin doesn't work well with the wizard. true or not true?
i just need to know some opinions also of people using a gps receivers and software on their wizards
I use the Nokia LD-3w reciever and TomTom for software. Setup was a little weird with the reciever, although I blame that on the fact that at the time I knew nothing about bluetooth. Since then I've had no complaints about it. Make sure you get a reciever with a SirfStar III chip, that's the most important thing. After that look at battery life and price. The nokia has tremendous battery life, I generally use it for 3 weeks or so in the car between charges.
Holux GPSlim 236 here. Sensitive and good battery life. No issues in pairing.
GPRS Advice
Hi,
Im also interested in using SatNav, I have a MDA Vario! (Also very much a novice!!). Just to clear things up, do you need a seperate Bluetooth GPRS receiver? I thought this phone could receive GPRS? Also ive read somewhere about enabling the GPRS on the phone, is there something else i need to do?!!

Well, no problems on my end with the unit. One caution, if you leave it on your car's dahboard, make sure it is larger than your "defrost" vents. I slammed on the brakes one day and the thing almost disappeared on me. lol. (I guess I could use velcro...hmmm)

Dude, you just got jacked ! Cancel the order while if you can!
You can get a better GPS receiver and a car mount for your Wizard for a fraction of the price you paid for the BT359W. I recommend the iBlue 737 (I use this personally) which goes for ~$90 shipped with the mount:

BT GPS
Most BT GPS recievrs work with Wizard. I personally have used Holux, TomTom, iBlue and Rikaline- and they all worked.
SiRF III chip is good and improves both accuracy as well as reception. Battery life would be next important issue.
At present I am using Holux GR 230 XX with TomTom 5.2 as well as MapKing 7. Both run work fine on the wizard.
I don't care about price as long as it comes highly recommended. besides the battery life seems pretty good from the specs. thanks anyway though.

It is highly recommended from one person. If you read the forums and reviews at gpspassion.com, you'll see why everyone is raving about the iBlue 737. And if you think 11 hours is good, the iBlue 737 gets 27 hours. Plus the chip on the iBlue 737 is much more sensitive and acquires signal much faster. There's also another version that has 32 hours of battery life:

Why have just OK when you can have the BEST??? But if you're happy throwing your money at 2nd-rated products, it's fine with me .

And tomorrow there will be another really great product. I guess I will refrain from posting suggestions.
The BT359 works very well for me accross multiple platforms, if the iB737 had been around or if you had been here months ago to recommend it I might have purchased that, who knows. Your tone however, is not appreciated, it makes it sound like you are marketing the product for that website.
Have a good day.

i agree. a few dollars more is not a huge deal for me.
and the product is already on its way to me. if im not happy with it, ill send it back. if its good enough for me, ill keep it. not a big deal at all.

Qstarz
I have a Qstarz 810. It's pretty similar to the SIRF III characteristics wise but seems to have better battery life (20 odd hours). The newer models are even more battery efficient.
I have certainly had no probs with it. It is much more sensitive than my old compact flash GPS I had in my PDA.
A friend has the Sirf III based Holux and swears by it.
Holux has comms over USB if it is any good to you, but battery life isnt as good.
I decided Qstarz was slightly better on stats and I wanted the battery life - almost swayed by USB comms on Holux tho.
Either way you get a good senistive GPS.
pdamods.com have some nice mounts with built in sirf III gps for anyone who is interested (and some without).
One question for anyone out there who has used it. External GPS app doesnt work for me. I access GPS direct. Anyone have this working ?

Dear fellow xda-devs,
After some discussion with mikechannon in our diagnosis thread, we came to a conclusion that my Hermes camera is actually broken. I can't live without it on my phone as I'm a guy who loves spontaneous photography. I can shoot on practically anything, anytime. A standalone camera is too expensive for me. I'm just a student and my Hermes practically used up my savings.
So here I am, appealing to all Hermes users who have a bricked/faulty/extra/spare/not-in-use to donate/spare/sell me their Hermes camera at a bargain.
Thanks in advance.
P.S - I live in Malaysia

Hi
As it happens I have one I could donate, BUT the postage costs might be expensive from UK to Malaysia.
Perhaps wait to see if someone closer has one for you.

hey there.
nah, ive checked lelong. every other day i'll browse lelong n ebay to kill time. thanks for your response.
hey hey,
yeah i saw that post too. there are tons of faulty devices out the that i can make use of, but money has always been the culprit stopping me from doing so..
lol
btw mike, i was wondering how much will the shipping be from Uk to Malaysia for small packets? Cause last week, i bought a pair of stylus and the shipping is only a couple of pounds. I was thinking that if you were to donate, i think it is only fair that i cover your shipping cost
mike might not see this post, so u may want to PM him

I just happen to have got some kind of problem with my camera, and taking it out has fixed the battery drain issues and stuff, I live in the Uk and if you don't send it off to abubakar, would you be willing to let me knows? I would like to fix my phone too but unsure where to get the part for it.
Cheers

Dear TF201 prime owners,
Like a lot of owners in this forum, My prime experience had been less than ideal. Last week, I emailed asus expressing just how horrible the prime is for some of us and how is has been nothing but a paperweight. Well, I got a reply back from ASUS and apparently they are aware of the this situation and there might be a remedy similar to that of the Dongle. Here is the reply:
I do apologize for the issues you have experienced while using your TF201 tablet. ASUS values its customers, and we are in the process of finalizing another remedy in addition to the dongle. We expect notification of this remedy to go out within the next few months. Unfortunately, I do not have any further details on what is being done.
Let the speculation begin.

Youve got to be kidding. Another dongle? How about just recalling this junk and give us a tablet that works.

Yea, now we get to carry two dongles with us and swap them. How badazz is that?
Maybe it will be a dongle with 4G + Extra battery + Stereo Speakers + Pico Projector + 256GB extra storage.
Yep defiantly gonna be that!

Sounds to me like it'll be a wifi dongle, unfortunatly alot of us have unlocked so i wonder how many of us will actually recieve it.
If it is a wifi dongle, i hope they listened to the negative comments about its design and include a passthrough so you can still charge the damn thing.
Perhaps it will be a Wifi + GPS dongle ... and if not, how long will it take to mod and include both in one ... hey ho

a permanent solution for the wifi will be eventually appreciated, even though I seriously don't believe this happening...
I would love a wifi dongle! But somehow make it compatible with the dock? lol
Maybe a faster internal memory dongle too.
...I don't see any of these things happening, guys. The Prime didn't sell well enough for a free solution to pay for itself in customer goodwill.
If it was decent, I'd consider paying a small amount for a WiFi/Internal Memory fix but I don't expect it would be free.

You might be willing to. However if asus comes out and tries to charge for a wifi fix, coustomers will be louder than they already are.

What do you mean pay for it? We already did pay for it and what we got in return was crappy internal memory, subpar wifi, and nonfunctioning gps unlong with 10 months of promises of software updates to fix it. Things have only gotten worse. My Prime ran better on honeycomb than it does now. I can't even use gmail without getting kicked out let alone try to play a game.
Just send me a $300 check and a hammer, and I ll happily smash this tablet+docking. Asus just denied my RMA for a broken charger and told me to buy a new one.
Hey, I see that your device is unlocked, so no warranty, bye.
My wifi barely works and I have to use my cellphone for wifi-tethering all the time. GPS? forget about it.
I'm betting it will be a $100 towards an ASUS tablet purchase in the near future (fine print: excludes Google Nexus 7). I'm hoping for something else though.

Free shipping. Great mod.
I got in on it. The $11 shipping kind of killed the deal, made it into a meh deal for me. Damn the thing is huge, flimsy kickstand, surprised It didn't break already. Not sure how I'm gonna us it, its too big to carry around. Probaby will just keep it in the car. Maybe at the office for streaming music, not through the company network and not have the network engineer ***** at me.

It was a very limited sale, when I checked it the day this post came out, there was a little over 1 day left. I suspect it is over and JBL website is not smart and put coming soon. Just a thought.
