good evening all,

i just have a few questions about the E61,

1) How easy is it to get sat nav on it it? i've looked at a few websites to see if it has built in GPS but i never seem to get an answer thats 100% clear,
I'm guessing the phone takes a micro SD card that has all the maps pre-installed onto it?

2) Do you have to install software on to your PC/Laptop if you want to transfer files? Or can you change to phone 'mode' so it acts like a mass storage device (Like LG shine)

Many thanks,

Adam

No built in GPS. But easy anyway, with an external bluetooth antenna.
The card format is miniSD or microSD with miniSD adapter.
An the place to install the maps is on card, of course.
Several ways for it, with smart2go from Nokia or with Route66 or Tomtom.

Both ways. By PC or by USB mode - storage device.

I have TomTom 6 installed on the miniSD from 1GB and it works great together with a bluetooth GPS dongle.
The big 16million color screen is nice
