Nokia XP 5800 GPS for Cycling

I have been looking for ways to improve my mapping (gps) on certain routes that I'm not familiar or that are small country roads.

I use a Garmin Edge 500 for all cycling needs and heart rate monitor, but I need maps under certain situations, I have to alternatives the Garmin Edge 705 (will review later) or the Edge 800 which I find very expensive, and not sure of the screen on sun light.

Another solution is the Nokia with a support I got from Amazon made specially.

After a few ride test I found that Nokia maps works well here in France (64) small road that you preload, also you can create a route choosing points in the map (very important) so you wont get lost in your ride. Also you can make a ride in un-known areas.

Also using the Nokia as GPS has some added advantages of a phone, with a BT ear you can make or get calls, or when you stop, you can take pictures etc. You will have more than speeding for the Garmin 705 or 800.

This is an alternative and just wanted to share my impressions

Windows Phone 7 Voip

Got an LG E900 Windows mobile phone.

Its my first LG and I'm very happy with the hardware, WP its in its infancy but it well done, lacks good Apps, and to me the most important no call via Voip, so its half phone.

All this will improve, but we aware Microsoft promises thing that never come, in this case probably with Nokia, the Voip and maps will be up to par at the end of the year.

Will do a further review when major changes come.
