Wow what a spec list, may take me 3 days to figure out what it does, It replaces my mda compact III which was an ok phone small and had GPS, but the lack of high speed data really let it down.

Do I need to contact o2 to get the HSDPA function working? (I am sure I read that somewhere).

I have seen a review with a slingbox and I am sooooo tempted, must resist. :p
 
With me on Vodafone, just so long as I had a 3G SIM, the phone (TyTN) picked up HSDPA networks on its own.

Nice to see you got a decent phone now :p
 
Well I work in Manchester City Centre now so will hopefuly get hsdpa tomorrow will have to keep an eye on it. :D
 
With mine there was a card in the box telling me that I had to switch it on.

Start > Settings > HSDPA, and then just select on, now its go between GPRS,3g and HSDPA automatically.
 
Just a shame that you cant use the phone as a modem or use meseenger as part of your data, ah well.

You are partially right actually.
As the person who mentioned above, you have to turn on HSDPA in the settings.

But also, the SIM has to be HSDPA compliant, i.e. to ensure compatability with the network.
(I too read this somewhere but for the life of me, I cant remember).

I just got the Stellar on O2. Very neat phone. Got a logitech freepulse headphone + receiver which would typically go into my ipod, but instead I just connected the headphones to the phone and it worked!

I can get around 10 hours of playing time out of a full charge of battery, so its not too bad considering.

Becareful with HSDPA otherwise youll run a massive phone bill :D

Has anyone tried any GPS programs with it yet?

Yea Ive read this as well, does that mean any data you send/receive via msn user data packets are not included as part of your data bolt on/package?

I got Copilot 7 for mine two weeks ago and its works great. In fact its so good I just sold my Garmin sat nav.

Ooh a CoPilot user!
I dont suppose you've used TomTom per chance and compared the two? CoPilot looks very lush actually!

I've just put on TomTom on my Stellar, works a treat! But if I can just get it to display in landscape mode without having to open my keyboard...
 
Don't mean to intrude... but I've got the S60 3rd Edition version of Garmin Mobile XT on my N95-8GB. I find it really good so far (though it's only been on for one day!). Will have to test out the routing sometime next weekend but so far beats Nokia Maps hands down. I was looking at CoPilot but I just like Garmin stuff...

I think the WM version is pretty much exactly the same.
 
I run TomTom on my TyTN II and it works fine but its as jerky as hell. The screen must refresh only 3/4 times a second :(

Thats not bad? I just compared the TomTom on the Tytn against a TomTom One (the slim one).

Its on par, and if anything in some instances it updates faster than the TomTom One.

Surely its not that jerky Gentwee?

smids - Thanks for your comments :) Taken on board!
