904 has GPS function.

But...does it have to go thru 3G service to make it work ?

Or does it use Bluetooth like PDA GPS ?

you can say that the 904T & 904SH are gps enabled fones but it is linked to the telco...in this case, 'vodafone navi'
when i experimented with my 904T, it actually does detect where you are and indicate the accuracy reading...then it will search for the website supplying the rest of the info, map, direction etc etc.
so for me in sg, it cannot work because of the second component.

i thought the GPS is locked to vodafone networks only? so it wont work here

Posted by: Timsta

its locked down to vodafone japan.

thats too bad...if only it worked...i'd DEFINITELY pick up the 904

Posted by: Timsta

haha... well.. it would be fun wouldn't it. but it odesn't

but vancouver isn't that hard to navigate luckily.. except when u get into surrey.. where streets just end for no reason.. hate going there.

actually..even if it had GPS..i'd have to bear with its design...*shivers*

Posted by: Timsta

the design grows on you really.. i didn't like ita t first.. i am liking it now.. better than bfore

Posted by: break-r

for some reason it reminds me of a toothbrush...and im not feelin the chrome..i think its just too flashy without the glossy look of the 903..and it would probably show scratches like crazy

although i've never held the phone..i could be wrong

Posted by: Timsta

haha. u shoudl definitely check it out. lots of guys in van have the phone now.

break-r: i was like you when i first saw pictures of the 904sh surface on the internet. I thought it most resembled my electric shaver. i was adamant that the 903sh looked better, in design and color. let me tell you, i have since changed my ways. 903sh was given to my lil sis and i'm using her pana vs3, just waiting patiently for the unlock to come out. i've liked the 904 so much that i've purchased 3 of em. timsta is right - the design grows on you, especially when you see the screen and the different customizable themes.

haha.. yah. afte ryou like it. u;'ll want to keep it. and get more.. i had a client just buy his third one today. crazy. another client bought one of each colour.. ai ya. haha.

Posted by: break-r

argh...i wanna get one now that u guys are saying all these great things

but i've changed phones soooo often im just sick of going through all the settings and changing everything...>.<

Posted by: Timsta

haha.. that can be an issue too.. the settings and inputting numbers.. it gets tiresome.. i did mine soo many times.. i'
m sick of it. so i've loaded software for each type of phone and synced them to outlook.. no more inputting of phone numbers

Posted by: break-r

well Timsta are you currently in vancouver?

Posted by: stanleyj

the best way to decide is to head on down to tim's place(assuming u are near) and hold the fone in your hand........then turn on the screen...and wa la!! like ....magic....poof!...the money comes out of your wallet....ha ha

Posted by: break-r

Hi Timsta, which software did you use to sync your Sharp phones to Outlook? I plan on getting 904SH. I plan on doing that as well.

just use the regular software that comes with the phone to do it. the 904sh comes with one too.
