Answer 1

as i see it, i want a device as its advertised.
not paying for an additional internet connection over my provider!
gps should work on its own.
and the review shows a perfect example for this.
the review is in some village and in the nature of finland. there is no
internet access all the way for 300 km. so your phone should work with its
internal gps only. no car-navigation needs gps for getting a sat fix.
my n95 and e71 worked without a-gps too. why doesnt the n97?
another example is my sport. im sitting in a sailplane, gliding in the bavarian alps.
6000 feet and higher, there is absolutely no internet or network available.
i want my device logging the flight and giving me exact coordinates and routes with
altitude and speed over sportstracker (which worked perfect on my other phones!).
but i cant use the n97 for this.
i cant make my winch-start depening on the time my n97 gets its first sat fix, i would
wait for hours down on the ground! and then in the air, i dont want it to loose its fix constantly.
and to be honest, i dont want to start fiddeling around with this device up in the air, i have to
concentrate on other things which could be dangerous for me (and others!)
cheers.
