Thats odd! Try it again.....BTW you have to wait(it redirects you to rapidshare).

Here: Only program - No installation needed just copy extracted miomap file to your sd card (M8).

oh well. i'll try and look for more apps; maybe post some arm.exe games.

hey, i know wifi is not shure at the moment but is there the possibility to use a proxy in the browser? at my campus a proxy is used...

can somebody who has an M8 open these pages in the browser, and post a screenshot of both results please?
acid2 test, acid3 test

Can the M8 use internet from an adhoc wifi network or Bluetooth PAN? Also, does it run without a SIM card inserted, or if it runs, are there any annoying error messages when the SIM card is not detected? I would like to get a M8 just as a mp3 player.

I also read up top that someone tried MIOMAP and it doesn't work; are there any other GPS apps working other than Route66? I hate that app; while the routing capability is acceptable, it is not very user friendly and is very rigid in terms of route planning compared to iGo, etc. I like Destinator as well, i'll see if I can find an ARM version of that.

Thanks!

I don't know about the ADHoc WiFi or bt pan 'coz I've never tried them.

M8 would display "No SIM" if there is no sim card inserted, and nothing more will happen unless you try to do something that needs a GSM network. So you can use M8 as a mp3 player well.

As far as I know only R66 runs well... maybe after the SDK released, there would be some other GPS navigation software.

These are the results.

thanks! that's not bad actually, for the second one the desktop version of firefox3 only produces 71 points, and that's already not bad (internet explorer is way behind)

In comparison:
The iPhone Safari browser 'only' gets 74 points. So good one for the Opera browser :P

(mobile versions score higher in general than desktop?!)

nope, the opera desktop should score 100/100 as i heard, though on my computer it only does 84. maybe some setting problem. usually mobile browsers are crap (just try nokia's built in browser, it does around 40~).

I don't know how the performance level of this build-in Opera is, but in IE7, they are two total mess...

actually only the opera 10 alpha gets 100 points in acid3 test.. also may the integrated opera browser is not the newest or whatever. but i think these scores are good enough to surf trough the net.

my phone only dials last number!! lets say i dial home, and put the phone aside. i later want to dial work or dial a friend or dial a number on keypad once i press send it just dials home! please if anyone knows how to fix this!
