Cheap PAYG Android phone £39.99

[andrewW]

now to get a decent sat nav app.

Be interested to hear which sat nav you choose. CoPilot will work but it wont let me install my copy on both the Pulse and my Galaxy Tab and I would rather keep it on the Galaxy with the larger screen. Buying another copy is an option but it costs more than the Pulse

this is getting cheaper by the minute

Had an email to say sorry out of stock but will send when they are not, then about an hour later I get another email saying it's on the way! So Tmobile which is it, in, out or shaking it all about?

@Mitre re sat nav.

This thing gets better!!! I had bought a Windows Mobile version of Copilot UK & Europe last year for my Windows smartphone. I discovered that if I deactivated CP on my smartphone I can use the same activation code to install it on my Android Pulse Mini And it works, way way faster than that Windows junk

Mind you, it took nearly an hour to download the maps (~2GB) although I have a good fast internet connection and they auto installed on my SD card !

Arrived at 6.30pm and only now put it down
Read reviews saying it's slow? Seems to be running fine for me not noticed any slow downs, though videos I tried dont play?

When using Co pilot - does it just use the GPS as the maps are pre-loaded? Also is this better or the same as the nav software on a TomTom?

Now follow the suggestion by Warpedflash to delete all the junk and it will be even better

Re videos, Myplayer used to work on my Pulse but for some reason has stopped working.

I have only ever used Copilot so cannot compare. Looking at demos of TomTom, the maps look similar. It uses wi-fi for live services such as weather and local searches and I assume would use 3G on the road? My use is only for GPS, not sat nav.

/me just uses google navigation. Its worked great for everythin I need it for... requiring a data connection is kinda meh but you do get 6 months free with the phone so wooooo
