Seems like they've got a better GUI for the GPS app. Something strange, though. It is said to have a microSD slot, but why did the package contain a transflash card? Also, a handheld isn't as cramped as a phone, why not just use the standard SD, which is cheeper and easier to find? __________________ My devices: NX73V -> TH55 (primary) my blog:http://intellidryad.blogspot.com/ Get Firefox, the ultimate browser!

I'm pretty sure that transflash and microSD are the same thing.

Agreed. Why 320x320 on such a large device. Why microSD? Very weird if you ask me.

phoenix3200 virtualcalc.com Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Springfield, Misery Posts: 352	They might as well have used XD. The only difference is that XD isn't usable in phones. Why in the world would any manufacturer use a "standard" like microSD, XD, or even MS Duo? I wonder when they're going to come out with a nanoCF. edit: microSD is the new title for Sandisk's transflash technology. __________________ Comments Left In Error: Please Execute Google NX80!
