Could any owners of the A10 please confirm that the the phone has no smart-dialing feature?

Find it troublesome to go through the list of names in Contact to find the phone number of the
person I would like to call.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Gurus/Sifus/Dai Gors....
I thought it would be easy for ppl to do a search if i start each questions with a new topic...

Anyway...
I went to penang last week with my A10 Andriod... I tried to use the function ... "Send current location" to my 5800 Garmin Mobile XT...

seems like... it won't work... the sms message will run Nokia's Maps instead... why?? did i do something wrong??

another question...
How to use the "Parking Memory" function?? It won't lead me to my car.. hehehe...

thank you...

There might be an app in the Android Market, but I've not searched for it. In this respect, the G60 is better as you can assign group(s) to your contacts.

Create a folder called 'Map', then copy your mfm map there. You could, if you wish, rename it to, say, 101227mfm.img

I've sent locations from the G60 to the 5800 before, and my colleague received it OK.

The A10 'remembers' the location when it was removed from the cradle. If it is not mounted on it's cradle, and subsequently removed, it wouldn't be able to log the parking spot.

its simple.. because your friend's default gps application is nokia maps, and google maps on the 2nd case.

for nokia 5800 you can change the default application to garmin, somewhere is settings. forgot where but i did it before when i was using nokia 5800..
