Thank you, JED for telling me how to activate the hand recognition function.

I have been using the phone for a coupled of days.

Things that I notice and the functions tried:

a) The Alarm - the phone must be siwtched 'ON' at all times.
b) The camera - produce good pictures in only good daylight
c) The screen - see nothing under the sun
d) Nsvigation - show enough details in Singapore road
e) The handset - Volume and sound are very clear
f) No autofocu, no extra camera len, not much games
h) Play certain AVI files (not all)
i) PDF reader - Good
j) Supported Java file format

How do we optimise the use of this phone and to provide feedback to Garmin Asus to improved the M10.

i) How to use the GPS to receive radio stations?
ii) Where to download classic games for free to be play on the M10, eg Reversi?
iii) How to add/update the video codec to support RMVB, DAT and VOB file types?

That's about all I have today.

Thank you all and have fun!!!

Is the GPS facility free for lifetime . Would request GSMARENA to review the phone. Any idea whether Mini97 is better or this phone is better in terms of
1. Navigation
2. Screen touch
3. Multimedia
4. Audit / Voice quality
5. Photo quality

i want to buy this phone, but since the gsm arena hasn't reviewed it yet, i don't know the multimedia capabilities, especially audio quality, (since i'm very active person that needs gps but also an audiophile type of listener). Can anyone describe me, how this phone sounds?

I am using this phone from almost a month. It is quite interesting a phone. Though the GPS is not up to the Indian roads which changes every second day, it is fun to cruise with it. Making calls might look a bit confusing in the beginning, but with practice it becomes a second behavior. I am bowled over by the stunning looks and smooth touch screen. I'd rate this phone a 8/10

It is a very interesting phone. But can someone share with me the knowledge as how to activate the hand recognition so that I could use it instead of using the QWERTY keyboard?

Many thanks....

I have this M10 few days ago, this a very excellent phone, except for few comments.

1.) I have problem with the camera software. touch screen positions are sometimes off/away from its on-screen buttons by the worst 15mm. I hope they have patch to cure this bug.

2.) The camera software dun have date & time stamp.

3.) The on screen keyboard doesn't provide gesture style of typing like the earlier versions had. It also doesn't have Keypad or T9 NumberPad keyboard layout.

4.) The on screen keyboard doesn't predict words you are typing.

5.) The phone doesn't provide hot-swat on the microSD Card. Meaning you have to take out your battery each time you wish to take the memory card and plug in into your PC.
