GPS - what after 3 months
"The N78 comes with 3 months of free navigation as a taster for people to experience the real time functionality."
Sorry for my lack of knowledge. Never used GPS on a cell phone before. But what happens after 3 months. Can not be that GPS simply stops working.

I have installed Nokia Maps 2.0 on my N82 and it feels a lot slower than Nokia Maps 1.2
Sadly, you can't uninstall it :-(

Is the D-pad the same as the N82? If so maybe theres hope that we may see the navi-wheel on the N82 in the future??

Interesting to hear that! AAN has tended to focus on actually playing the games but AAS is probably the more appropriate place to discuss the business implications of a gaming platform based on Symbian.
It's interesting that the gaming industry has these two totally different ways of being covered, yet it's ultimately all the same subject matter.
In a way it's true for Symbian too, some people want to use the phones while others are interested in their significance for the mobile device industry.

It's actually quite frightening how quickly you can feel old nowadays. For example here in Finland a lot of children now don't know what a landline phone is! They've grown up with mobiles and call charges are so low that many young families have no form of landline at all, so the kids find the idea of a phone attached to a wall rather odd.

I guess I don't like it that much because they're trying to get Rafe to talk *less*, and I want to hear what he has to say. Not that the others aren't interesting too, of course (esp. Steve), but Rafe seems to focus more on the business and marketing aspects than the others which is what I'm interested in. I'm not really interested in the games apart from a technological and business stand points.
I could quite believe others might think differently...

Yes, 'epic' could be interpreted that way, I suppose. I guess it's more the time limits that the other guys put on him in the podcasts that I find a little annoying, and the little comments implying he talks for too long and is too boring.

By the way, Max, I interpreted 'epic' as a compliment in the context of the review, as in thorough, leaving no stone unturned. Anyway I'm sure Rafe is pleased there are people looking out for him.

I also remember the 'generation game'. I think the catch phrase also got a mention in 'The Vicar of Dibley' at one point

Perhaps he should have a podcast of his own so that those of us who are more interested in the serious 'business' side of all this stuff can get the benefit of his insight

Never knew it came from the generation game, I assume this is the 1970s version from before my time? :-)

'epic'??
> Rafe's epic
Personally, I'd prefer to not hear these kind of jibes, even if said in 'jest' and are representative of the relationships in the AAS team.
In any case, I hope Rafe doesn't pay any attention to them. I prefer the in depth reviews, and thorough narrative on the podcasts.
...but anyway....
Max.

The 'scores on the doors' is from The Generation Game but you're such a young lad you've probably never even seen Anthea do a twirl!

Vic & Bob used that catch phrase in their "ironic" gameshow Shooting Stars, it was something like "What are the scores, George Dawes?"

Rafe - now you've confused me with your reference to food hygiene - nice one!
I was wondering what your overall score was for the N78.

Any comment on this,as this is of utmost important to consumers who are getting a N78 purely because of FP2... |
I'll try and do some more extensive testing and do a write up. Quick answer is that some of the more complex ones may not work or be unstable. I know some people have had issues with 3rd party sat nav software.

Not quite sure what the N78 has to do with food hygiene? I'm sure you mean something else, but its late and my brain isn't working properly.
