To Clinton,
So you mean the GPS and bluetooth won't work together (at the same time)? Are you in U.S. or outside U.S.? What kinda software you running your GPS?
Thanks!

I have emailed TomTom and Navigon and they both said wouldn't work with our A701. I guess the A701 is just too new and they don't wanna say for sure as I heard TomTom and Navigon worked fine with other countries. Anyway, I called Microsoft and they told me the Pocket Street 2005 should work fine becuase it designed for Windows Mobile 2003SE or "later". I'm gonna give it a shot and see how much luck I have, will post the update in here.

I just purchased the Mitac Mio A701 and love everything about it, but I am experiencing a major functional issue and want to know if anyone has experienced the same:
I find that when I enable bluetooth for my handsfree carkit, the GPS with car navigation becomes inaccurate.
If I then disable bluetooth the GPS works properly again.
I'm hoping that if this is a valid issue, a ROM update in the near future will sort it out?!

Did not come with the user manual for the MIO A701. Anyone know where I can down load one at. Also how do you use the speed dial, I have added the numbers but when i touch them it does not dial like my siemens SX66 did.
Many thanks,
Singh

Been using my A701 for just over a week, running both TomTom & Memory Map without any problems. Excellent Phone/PDA. Just one issue with the stylus, the first broke in the unit, but managed to claw it out, so be careful!! It's not robust and is prone to break. Would have prefered it on top as well, I am looking for an alternative stylus that fits the unit.

I'd be interested in a comparison of the Mio A701 and the E-Ten G500. They are quite similar. The main differences as far as I can tell are that the G500 has voice command software, quad-band, and TMC function, but a mini-SD slot rather than SD. Does anyone know if this mini-SD is sdio capable for adding WIFI? The mio SD slot is SDIO.
On paper, then, the E-Ten looks like it offers a bit more, but I'd have to see a complete review of both to be sure.

Hi congrats on your new phone! I was wondering, my car has bluetooth built in for handsfree voice dialing, without voice dialing on the phone, will the cars voice dialing still work? Thanks in advance.

got mine on sat 11 march. put TomTom 5 on it, works like a charm, only drawback apart from no wifi , is no voice dialing. i also think the stylus is a bit weak, other than that its an exelent peice of hardware, would give it 9/10. got mine at http://www.superetrader.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=375

It's available in a few UK stores that will ship overseas. It's actually officially in stock in most stores. I bought mine from clove.co.uk
I'll post more when I get it.

Is this phone really coming out or that company just trying to fool the stock market?
I like this phone and think it's a great phone. However, I've been waiting for more than 3 months already. Now it's mid March already. I am really wondering about this phone will they come to US
