Go for LG Optimus One P500


but why not buy a dedicated GPS device if you already have a good phone?

On Mobiles, GPS sucks the life out of the Battery. Go for a dedicated GPS device if you're so inclined.

the LG Optimus One P500 looks interesting. any idea abt it's price??

what about nokia phones they come with nokia maps loaded for free.
how about the new nokia C2-03 and C2-06 they both have maps feature and assuming that all nokia phones have the same chip for gps then i can go for one of these.

and the reason why i am looking for a good gps phone is bcoz i am planning to buy a new phone and it would save me money if my phone has good gps capability.

don't know about other mobiles but O1 sometimes take ages to get locked. i tried it many times. inside train, bus, house. it is really accurate but just the locking time is really bad. or it can be cause of i using some custom ROMs.

do a bit of research to know how it performs with stock rom.
