Re: A new S60 Symbian Phone with GPS : Samsung i550
Well..... I would say that manufactures like Samsung, Motorola, Panasonic etc… should try to maintain standards that iPhone and Nokia (N95) has put up.
Else it will be just a normal new phone in the market. People are now looking for more fancy phones even if they don’t know how to use them...
Re: A new S60 Symbian Phone with GPS : Samsung i550
you probably right
But for me it's a good news that's GPS came in mobile phone because we can do a lot of great application with it !!
And the Symbian LBS API is quite cool, no need to parse NMEA sentence or things like that, so I'm Happy with simple phone with GPS
like Nokia 6110 Navigator for example, which is cheaper than the super N95.
