  • gps not working

  • can window 6.5 convert to android(GINGERBREAD)?

  • dudes plz suggest me' finaly its gud or bad. ?can i take tz mobile. . . .

  • my phone is good it is good looking, in gps all the places it is not recognising and we not able to use navigation in those places.

  • OS: Windows 6.5.3... no more development on software and applications front.. They are concentrating more on v.7 Power: Battery exhausting quickly GSM Signal Reception: Week compared with other phones. Display: supports 65k colors (bt, keep in mind its resolution....800x480) Always hangs in the middle.. Perhaps, it may takes a few more months to fine tune the OS to overcome these glitches. I had tried several times to update the phone software from Garmin's official link, but, it fails always... Sd Card slot placed underneath the battery. No FM Radio No Front camera and video calling... A lot of heat generating from the handset even if we run multimedia for a few mnts... To conclude my comments, those who wants to flaunt a smart mobile, look for something else/make. But, if you are looking for a nice gps capable handset, then only look for this....!

  • yes! but why don't work marketplace

  • yaa.....it's really a good cellphone i m really like it

  • go to garmin asus website(your country) and check for the software update.

  • M10 comes from Microsoft. A10 use Android.

  • Hi Imho, I had the same issue. after 10 times wrong password, this will warn and reset the phone. Once reset, this will automatically install the OS. But ALL DATA will be erased from Phone and will corrupt the data from SD card also. I would suggest, take out the memory card and try to reset. Unfortunately the Default MAP will also be erased.

  • I have been using the Garmin Asus M10 for a few months now. It works fine most of the time. However, when I am using it to navigate a long journey after about 1.5 to 2 hours the software stops. The four windows coloured circles rotate for a few minutes and then stop. Disconecting the battery is the only way to recovery. I sent my original phone back to Garmin who replaced it, but the new phone has done the same. Is this a common fault with these ohones?

  • for any sort of help or clarification as far as Garmin Asus M-10 is concerned please call me: 9632323030 (mahesh.r Area Manager-Asus-PDA-Bangalore)

  • I have the same problem with my Garmin-Asus M10. It can detect the storage card sometime but not all the time. I also have problem backing up PIM to the storage card. I think it is software problem. And yes it is very annoying!!! Asus, please help fix these problems.

  • I don't know WHAT you're talking about, I use my google maps with navigation every day. It's very good (better than vz navigator) and allows for satellite and street view WHILE navigating. It's compatible with tower triangulation and the Sirf Star chip in my phone. I don't know what you guys are smoking, but they even put the turn by turn navigations in their TV commercials... -Moto Droid

  • Do u guy think is my storage card problem or the phone problem??

  • Do u guy hav the problem with the storage card detection problem? Sometimes the phone can detect my file in storage card but sometimes it just disappear....i hav to restart back my phone to get it back. It was annoying!!!

  • You are wrong . galaxy S is good in term of the screen resolution. but M10 wins in on their free Garmin navigation

  • I Agree with you. Android phones all have google map. Note: Google map mean only for viewing. No step by step navigation. Its not a PND.

  • Garmin Map is still the clearest. Google Map do not navigate ? how to compare? Google map is only for viewing purpose only. Nokia map?? worst..

  • I've been using m10 for a few months now, and I spotted some mal-functions in this phone: 1. While making a call, I got a black screen when exit from screen-off mode and the screen was no response. 2. Sms alert not activated untill I wake the phone from sleep mode. 3. Many times, the "call note" would just appear without any relevant gesture. It's kind of annoyance. 4. The screen lock activated immediately onced I pressed the dial pad. Not user friendly. 5. There's certainly some bugs in the phone function. I just couldn't get a smooth operation out of it. I think this should be the last WM phone for me, and most probably the last Asus phone for me too. Anyway, still hope they can update their firm ware to solve all those bugs problems. Is m10 worth a recommendation? I would say if you are looking for good navigator phone, go for it; you have to prepare to sacrifice a piece of user friendly plus phone device though. Design: 7 (- iphone copied) Features: 7 (satisfactory specs) Performance: 6 (would be lower if w/o Garmin GPS)

  • garmin-asus-m10 is completly busness phone an what a navigation i slut garmin very good ph with gd specification.

  • Can anyone help me as to how do u save the GPRS on this phone?

  • Its an ultimate phone....

  • what a phone yaar

  • First you select New contact and then select Outlook Contact. In this menu add so many numbers.

  • this phone has autofocus, you need to click on the screen where you want to focus.

  • u can adjust the time set for the screen to go off. that you will find in the power saving mode while checking out battery.

  • i totally agree. have been using one for three months and it feels like the developers did not put much effort into the software development. but overall its ok...

  • I owned 1 for 2mths and sold it off at a low price,the phone keep hanging,when a call comes in the ringtone will come on for 3 sec and stop only vibrating,the unlock screen sometimes will hang also...beware,I feel the best phone on the market is the Galaxy S,guys pls go for it.

  • anyone know how to put the 2 dfference contact numbers in 1 phone contact name? appreciate for the help!

  • its very good phone with a good camers clearity go for it its good

  • I don't think Garmin map sucks! Actually, its the other way around. Garmin maps are better and precise than google maps or nokia maps. i've download nokia maps but the maps are way behind garmin! I think that those who complaints about garmin never used it before. Garmin actually saved in getting lost everytime i needed it. It could also save ur life!!

  • Garmin map sucks! Google map, Nokia's map, Agis map, ... are better. Why? Go try compare it yourselves and you will know. I'm not talking about the 'GPS' - it's the MAP SET.

  • the connection is quite fast with the GPS. you can also use google map as navigation, but needs wifi or gprs connection to use. the map update is available in Garmin website and is free. i tried Agis map came with P535 and i found it better than Garmin map bcos it has more features on the map and easier to use also.

  • Hands on M10 for 3 months now. Below is my personal comment from a user's pov. Cons: 1. the keyboard lack of a button to numeric keys 2. the auto numeric keypad is not seamlessly integrated with the Garmin navigation software 3. soft-button function keys (eg. zoom button, etc) are not available on the bottom-bar 4. the up-down arrow scrolling buttons are not available in most of the screens. why??? 5. certain applications are not cater for local use!! 6. Garmin navigation software is very un-unser-friendly. new user will get lost while trying to search for a relative function 7. I missed a few calls due to call pick up function not working!! 8. Today page not viewable in horizontal screen 9. no function to switch off auto-on of GPS while phone reseted 10. the map sets: 2010.10 & 2010.20(latest) create duplicate POIs and points descriptions can't show up 11. advanced users who have tried other GPS software would probably not want a M10 as navigator 12. overall software not intuitive, not user-friendly 13. phone unlock bar placed at the wrong location 14. where is the configuration utility? Summarize the cons: M10's software is a messy design whereby fragments of applications are not seamlessly integrated with one another. The bottom-bar is not fully utilized and clearly shows a lack of effort of the software developer. This is more like a beta version, but if updates are available, then it will be much appreciated. Pros: 1. very value-for-money with so much functions!! 2. GPS is fast and accurate 3. long battery life 4. nice interface 5. acceptably smooth with WindowsMobile phone 6. classic design which is nice looking 7. well, you pay what you get. so what's more? Summarize the pros: Value for money with its impressive specifications. Overall functions are moderately fast and doesn't require to a reset that often. I hope ASUS(or Garmin) could put more effort in developing their mobile software on this phone. Even though there's a price and quality relationship concern, a lazily-developed product may brings down a company's competitiveness.

  • hi hi is the gps free for life? if got new roads in singapore, upgrade map is free? how fast is the connecting speed? my omnia2 varies. lets say if i come out of the car park it will take hoe long to connect to lead me to my destination or it will connect immediately just like the car garmin navigator? thanks..

  • 1) The Camera does not have autofocus fuction. 2)The close-up photo taking is not very clear; no close-up fuction. so it is difficulut to take clear picture of documents for reading. no flash 3)The navigation on the map is good, response to GPS is fast. 4)Speacker is clear. 5)

  • The camera of this phone doesn`t have zoom.sucks

  • can anybody help me switching off the vibration while typing a msg. Kindly help

  • This m10 has great features and most prominently the GPS is really awesome !!!!!

  • everything is good but the only problem is hanging it strucks minimum five times per day

  • One of the best phones I have ever used. Normally I change my mobile once in every six months and I bought this couple of weeks ago. I think my search for the best phone comes to an end. Before I buy a phone I go through the specifications and reviews only at GSMarena. A Trillion Thanks to GSMarena for introducing this phone to me.

  • Its really a very helpfull device for every king of a purpose. its gps is really awsome i like that voice navigation. the sound and the picture quality is really great and i am damn sure that it is much far better then n900 of nokia becasuse it dosent have the sliding problems and the after sales service is also very good they people are very helpful in every terms.

  • no there is no charges of using gps or lbs sevice on garmin asus m10 but if you wanna upgreade the maps of any other ountry so that you have to buy the maps of that perticuller country. thanks........

  • It seems that the after sales service is poor. And Nokia maps are much updated. Any views ?

  • Then how about the MAP? Is there any charge if i want to update the maps and get a new map (if i travel to other country)?

  • No charges for using GPS. Excellent detailed maps provided by Garmin. Overall Smart Phone.

  • i would like to know any charges is imposed when using garmin? how about for the new maps, any charges? thank you

  • which 1 is better if comparing to the samsung I8000 Omnia II???

  • I'm looking for a smartphone n' I think it's a perfect choice...

  • Real Smart Phone. Excellent GPS Navigation experience. Best Photo and sound quality. Available in market without car kit.

  • excellent hand set ever seen i think nokia cant even dream of such features cause i was the fan of nokia after using Asus.m10 i have really gone crazy..........i would sujjest people to buy on purchase of business usse best ever seen model.......i would really expect ASUS to launch more phones for the name of the company.........

  • outstanding performance. very good video quality.

  • WOW.. Its functionally so awesome. Exellent with its inbuilt GPS, 5 megapixel camera, exellent video clarity like handycam. Earlier i used so many smart fones including iphone, but i never ever experienced comfort like this. Generally smart phones with these many features fail in sustained battery back up. But this M10 is giving exellent back up as its provided with 1500mah Lithium battery. It fulfill all ur needs. Remember my words.

  • Excellent GPS phone. Classy and well built. I also really appreciate this new version of Windows Mobile that makes this smartphone a convenient and fast pocket computer. I also like the camera for outdoor shots and also the videos I took during a football match recently. Moreover, the specs appear superior to the actual iPhone. For professional use, this one won't disappoint you, mark my words!

  • i purchase this mobile last 5 days back its very good mobile it has all the features like business & multimedia it has good navigation & it has multi task manager with 3d effects battery backup is osam.

  • Better than Iphone in terms of specs

  • dont wory about brand its asus mother board company now which comes in mobiles last so many years so its thaiwan made its got a very good picture resulution for picture quality as well as video quality its having a 3.5mm jack whic you can connect to yr woofer bifg speaker u can pick up this phone blindly yar its very good phone i also using same phone.

  • excellent....

  • 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?

  • hand recognition is suck. U better stick with keyboard. Anyway u can change to hand recognition by pressing hold the EN button.

  • 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

  • Does it have digital compass?

  • I bought the phone recently. 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 couldnt find any store in chennai that has this handset. is it really launched here

  • ask- does anyone know how to hard reset this device?

  • Should be able to load any software that design for WM WVGA.

  • ask...how to paste garmin maps...to which folder???

  • is it possible to load google earth in this phone

  • 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.

  • A real navigation phone. exactly the same as a GPS unit.

  • the phone is excellent...

  • Long battery life. Using GPS and listening to radio thru GPRS while jogging, radio very consistance, no break... cool phone :)

  • Cool product. love it.

  • Long lasting Battery life!! excellent GPS!! Connect with wifi or 3.5G,Great phone,and most important,it is cheap in price!!!

  • So it need to pay the extra money for the car kit?

  • I just bought the phone. It comes with a car kit. GPS is exactly the sames as a GPS unit. What better. Its free without data charges.

  • There is no car kit included. As per my experience the phone is good. Need to explore more to write more.

  • Do anyone know that the M10 package already include the car kit or need to buy separately. thank for the reply.

  • its coool!!!!! but?

  • Latest Technology and beautiful looks. COOOOOOOL

  • M10 is really worth the Price. And i Like the navigation feature

  • @hime, if GPS is important to you, get the m10. all else, get the iphone. i just switched from iphone to the m10 2 days and personally,i feel that the touch screen experience is not as good (it lags) and text message doesnt have the text prediction which makes iphone a breeze to use. But i must stress that the GPS is really cool, beats iphone's google map anytime.

  • anyone use iphone and this asus phone b4? im wondering which one shld i get

  • Im using it..satisfied with the performance.

  • Thats normal. Other smartphone also like that. Include htc hd or diamond2

  • Nice device..

  • Yes, the stylus is integrated with the phone.

  • The dimensions of he Phone 4.57 x 2.28 x 0.56 inches (116 x 58 x 14.3 mm) and weghts 138 g

  • Thank you for your reply. Is the stylus integrated with the phone (i.e. itr slides into a slot in the phone like HTC touch HD) or is it separate (like Omnia). Thanks again

  • I love the GPS function... still trying out this phone.... By the way, my M10 screen will go off after about 1 min, after which I need to press the power key to turn on the screen, by touching the screen, send key, start menu key and end key will not get back the screen... Is this normal? Can anyone share :)

  • I live in Singapore and just bought this phone. Very nice phone, the camera can actually record up to 800x480 @ 24FPS or 640X480@30FPS instead of the advertised 650x480@24FPS. Take note.

  • EDoF - extended depth of field.

  • I am using M10 while drive. Very good phone to have. It is as good as a Professional Navigation device with all the phone features. ------------------------------------------------­----- me +1

  • dude it's not efod. it's EDOF.

  • One sentence. A potential GPS device killer. Definitely a must have for drivers.

  • I am using M10 while drive. Very good phone to have. It is as good as a Professional Navigation device with all the phone features.

  • Are you sure? Nokia Ovi Map is better than Garmin's Map? i doubt so. i have been using Garmin and it is still the best in terms of navigation.

  • what is a EFOD camera means?

  • in malaysia this phone is only rm1500...is it that cheap????

  • The M10 runs Windows® Mobile, making it the ideal smartphone for business use, while its smart navigation capabilities, comprehensive social networking features and connected services enable users to lead a truly smart lifestyle. The M10 is the phone for the new Smart3 era.� said Benson Lin, Vice President and General Manager of ASUS� Personal Mobile Devices Business Unit, Handheld Business Grou

  • i thou this phone is a good navig phone the rest of the function is pretty normal. And its Accelerometr UI reacts a bit slow. Remind me of the Nokia Navig version. But now they are coming out their OViMap. Pretty GooD! Way to go NOkia!

  • No autofocus, no front facing cam. The 5MP cam uses EFOD.

  • Anyone used it ??? Please review this phone for me for all :) Battery life ? excellent GPS ? Conectivity ( Wifi , 3G ) Thanks a lot :)

  • yes it does

  • Does this phone have a stylus?

  • definitely something different from the other brands.

  • have tried the phone. Definitely a phone that stands out in terms of functionality. Smart phone + Garmin Map(free)

  • It has got video cal camara?

  • I also like to know whether it has autofocus on the camera. That's an important function as least.

  • I have personnally tried the phone. It is running on 600Mhz processor with L2 cache. The only phone in the market that has a l2 cache cpu processor. definitely it will not lag like other brands.

  • The M10 is comparable to a dedicated GPS device such as Garmin 1460 PND, giving you the ability to go wherever you desire without getting lost and losing precious time. Supported by the advanced Garmin GPS navigation technology, even in undesirable weather conditions, the M10 has an impressive time to first fix (TTFT) of 33 seconds, which is its timeframe to acquire a satellite lock; a very useful feature for people who are constantly on the go.

  • this phone has autofocus on the camera???

  • Does anyone has any idea if this phone will lag when playing games from miniclips or facebook? (if there is no lagness in the internet conection)

  • Darmojah is not the only provider. In fact, there maps are Navteq, which is owned by Nokia. There's Ovi maps (navteq), which is free on select nokia handsets, blackberry maps (navteq), and don't forget ndrive.

  • You think Thai maps are expensive, think again, when I tell you that Darmojah, which is the sole agent in Saudi Arabia, charges $200 for their Saudi Maps.

  • They officially announced the price in Thailand yesterday. Converted to USD, without car kit = $438, with car kit = 526. Cheaper than Nuvi 7xx here. Price for other country should be lower because they included Thai map that considered very expensive when purchase separately comparing to map for other country.

  • I saw this phone last night, at a presentation the Garmin representative of Saudi Arabia, had introducing a range of Garmin products and the M10 was one of these products. It look really nice and sleek. It will be available in Saudi in about six weeks, and it will be supplied with a Saudi Arabian desert maps. The bundle will be priced at around $500. Not bad considering that the local agent �Darmoja� will install the latest local maps including desert tracks points of interest in the barren deserts of Saudi Arabia as well as desert refuelling locations and areas where a GSM signal may be available Arabia.. I will certainly add one of these gadgets in my collection when it becomes available.

  • I will definitely be getting one. hope that the price is competitive.

  • Big improvement compared to previous models. Will definitely be getting one. When will it be launch?

  • Nice phone with branded GPS software from Garmin

  • brilliant!allows me to crop any mp3 & save as ringtone,right from where i want to song to start & end.Wifi sharing also allows my buds to share my internet connection(beware,im on umlimited data plan though)

  • Looks like IPhone.

  • Looking forward to its launch..

  • it has qwerty keypad

  • same as Garmin's GPS. Which means free navigation without data cost from the telecommunication companies. Thats cool.

  • Heard that the phone is using the same software as Garmin's professional navigation device. Drivers ? GPS users ? should be interested.

  • Nokia has also arm 11 600mhz processor in n900 but it is very fast. I think it is faster than I phone 3GS With the same processor. By the way 4gb memory is not much if u compare to this. Nokias newest smart phones have 32gb inner storage and a place to 16gb memorucard.

  • Despite being the CPU being only 600mhz, the phone is still fast. It's not using the same architecture as the Qualcomm 7201A CPU you saw in last generation Windows Mobile Phones, but an ARM Cortex based CPU similar to the Snapdragon. It has the same exact specs as the Snapdragon, the only difference is that it's clocked a little slower, but it's still leagues faster than last generation phones. Even faster the the Iphone 3GS and on par with the N900.

  • oh.........good phone 4gb memory ......

  • Ram does not make your phone faster. If you have ram then it means you can run more programs but your processor is the one that is working those programs so even if u have shizloads of ram then it still might run slow. ALSO, my 600 mhz processor w/graphics accelerator in nokia n900 runs my phone just as fast, if not faster, than a 1ghz processor in nexus one

  • some ppl r just so narrow minded 600mhz arm cortex will nt be slow nor drain d battery!performance depends more on amount of RAM than mhz of cpu!while im at it if the software is optimized well than 128mb is aplenty just look at iphone 3g or nokia5800!

  • Speed is determined by OS,Processor and Memory and also the applications one is using. So having a 600MHZ processor doesnt mean it will be slow than 1GHz processor.

  • Nice phone but still I would like to have it a 1Ghz Processor and a 3.5mm audio jack....... If these were there then it will be a rocking phone........

  • CPU is not just the matter for speed. It will not be slow by 512MB RAM.

  • 600 mhz?! it will be slow

  • if it has keyboard it will be great

  • Nice looking with up-to-date specs. The resistive screen is a no go to me though
