What phone has the best reception?

[jaysondin87]

My E71 requires line of sight for initial satellite lock But when it gets going, it's pretty stable even without much line of sight access...


I havent tried other units tho...

Is really hard to get a satellite lock during night time? I'm also have problem making it lock when it's cloudy. Is that normal?

HTC Touch 3G

With Garmin Mobile XT installed, I get Sat Signal in under 10 seconds
even when I'm already on the road before I start the Garmin software.
No problem too when navigating and receiving sms or phone call,after the call the display goes back to the navigation.

Hi,

reason why it takes 3 minutes or more to get satellite reception because of the built in chip A-GPS.But since you are lock in, it works stable but its not acceptable for me waiting for a long time.Same experience here with nokia. Since i bought an external bluetooth GPS like Tomtom wireless GPS it just takes within 30seconds outside of the building. Best solution for smartphones either buy an external SIRF3 or wait till SIRF4 is out to the market.

greets,

my experience with tytn2:
i was getting lousy reception with mapking
operating environment:
- outoors and raining or with heavy clouds
- certain areas in makati (from pbcom to makati ave) and ortigas

when i installed garmin mobile xt, i've never (not yet) had sat-lock problems...
had it running within seconds even during very heavy rain like last nite...
i only loose signal in long tunnels but get sat-lock within seconds once im out of the tunnel...

For Windows Mobile phone, regular updating of Quick GPS helps in acquiring satelite signal.

I have tried Garmin Mobile XT on MyPhone T33 -- seems to work well with this phone.
