Page 1 of 5 Satellite navigation is all the rage these days but with so many different options available, it's difficult to know which is best. For a lot of people, being able to use their phone for Sat Nav is a must. The biggest downside to this is, usually, that you have to carry around some form of GPS receiver and along with it, extra cables needed to keep it charged. What if you didn't need a separate receiver? What if there was a phone with built-in GPS? What then?
Well dear readers, in my final device review for MSMobileNews, today we'll be looking at such a device; the G500 from Eten! As with all my device reviews, there'll be some interactivity so remember to have Quicktime installed.
Note: this phone ships with the 080 ROM. This ROM is awful. My review will concern the 097 WWE ROM with the AGPS and FM tuner application. The GPS firmware has been updated to allow AGPS and TMC to function correctly. This firmware also fixes an issue with the FM tuner (links to software at the bottom).
