o i realize most people are not crazy for this phone, they want bluetooth, memory cards, etc.

I just cant wait to get this thing out on the trail see how good the compass actually works, get drunk and accidentally drop it in a stream 😁

no I wasn't referring to the roam indicator only this link from hofo, when first reported on PS it said digital compass too (fairly certain ) and this link confirms it, unless of course its wrong.

I hope it has one, but it doesn't matter anyways because I really will only use my GPS, but it would still be cool if it did 🙂

Do you know for certain that it doesn't?
🙂 Thanks

I hate the bottom of the phone, it looks like a football facemask! I think I'm gonna keep holding out for the 9900. Let us know how it works for ya gunny.

i'm playing with it and can't find any sign of it. sound quality seems really good but we have good service here. speakerphone is pretty garbled at higher levels. build quality seems good though. i think i could kill something with this phone if i was forced to. if you have any ? let me know

it does light up red-ish. I didn't hold it in a dark place. It didn't look really bright but I'm sure you can see what your doing.

seems to take really good pictures, it isn't active yet so i can't give you examples. unlike the samsung phones with higher mpixels it seems to take the picture right away, then process it for a second. As opposed to the 930 where it takes 5 seonds to actually snap the picture and you better hope nothing moved.

The outside display seems to be easy to view although it is a little slow to refresh. like the stop watch you can't really see the tenths and hundredths of a second, just a blurry 8 like you'd see on an alarm clock. thats very minor though.

buddy of mine said they ran over the thing with an SUV...
