Does anybody know whether MTN offers any bundled GPS units with a phone.

Vodacom offers the Garmin 10X with the N70, as well as the Nokia GPS unit with the E50(?)

I know the N95 is due to become available anytime now, but the cost of the unit will initialy be a bit too pricey to stomach.

Alternatively, if MTN offers no GPS units, what phone/GPS Unit/Software combo should I consider for a DIY kit?

Thanks
 
HI,

I am using a Nokia E50 + Nokia LD-3W GPS Receiver. Works like a charm. Bought the phone and GPS Receiver seperately
 
GPS Receiver

It was from a friend that got it with his E50, had a Garmin in his car so had no need for it.

Bought the Nokia LD-3W GPS Unit + Garmin SA Maps and Software for R800.

It certainly was, will be for sale soon...

as soon as the N95 arrives. Just got a call from MTN telling me they have stock so I just got to wait the 7 days to my upgrade.

The Nokia E50 works incredibly - best price for a GPS I could find! Will never be without it as I move around alot! Works like a charm. :D
 
I am looking forward to the Nokia 6110 Navigator. Free on a MyCall 100. Will be getting mine next month.:D:D
 
I got a 6110 navigator from mtn this wknd and have had no problems!! The gps is AWESOME and the phone has none of the normal nokia lag. Battery life is better than the n95 I used a little while ago. Even after using the gps for 2 or so hours, being on mxit for an hour or two, using the hsdpa, making calls, taking videos and photo's and sending a bunch of messages purposefully trying to run down the battery it still lasted just over a day!! Which means normal use should get you by for 2-3days. The panorama is also pretty cool. you press the button once then just the phone and it takes the rest for itself!

The two speakers are VERY LOUD and you can hear the gps fine while you're driving even with the radio on. I just want to get a holder cause i'm busy holding it while i drive.

Music through the speakers is also very loud and clear

All in all i've tried to find any fault whatsoever with it so if there is any problem I should change it, but still in vain. It's a great phone and i'm not gonna let it go!! Mtn apparently has stock in its warehouse, so if you want one i'd say tell them to fetch it!

6110 Navigator is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
