:D @ marcus aye know your right with all the headaches with conversions
but whatever way i add it up i can only get about 17/18 MPG from my g280swb no matter what roads i drive on lol mph or kph :roll:

ref your wi fi and satnav query the nokia N70 , satnav can be applied but not wi fi

the xda2i has wifi and can apply satnav with an external gps via bluetooth

i will post my mobile numbers for both sides of the border (mph and kph) :) on the Ireland GWOA Area page if anybody wants them to contact me ref mobiles or tariffs for UK or IRELAND

On the point of the ltrs to 100klm cheers Jesus I was having trouble with that one because i am used to mpg and the french dont understand it.
On the point of the phone I already have a Nokia 9500 the new communicator and have had the same range since the 9100. On the last 2 9210 and the 9500 i have had sat nav and i have wifi on the new one Its a big phone but I love it and very much like a mini laptop. In my business I use it for voice recording, it has word, fast internet, video and camera and a ton of other stuff.
I must say sat nav eats battery thoughI usually run it off car ormains to use it otherwise battery goes in 30mins

Re: mph to kph

aye greeney , the separate gps devices can be very sore on the phones battery as well as running the application such as route 66 or co pilot or whatever you use
i wouldnt advice any of these at all , better to go with a stand alone sat nav device
there is a lot of cheaper ones available at the min , such as below

There you all go of on a tangent again, thank god for the poor British weather, or the Spainish Armada may have just got through.

Englands had it, full of spongers, and I dont mean the empty petrol garage car washers, 400,000 brits in southern spain, Jesus, were coming to get you.

Give it 10 years everyone will be talking English, in a Pakistani accent!!!!!.
