google map is great via wlan ( also the nokia maps 2.0 has got it as built in feature ) but next to it the normal maps too... so u mean there are no built in maps in se?

Ye its stupid, they should have given us a 0 rated APN like on the BBs.
Worst thing about it is, for one if you really need it, you might be in an area where there might not be any GPRS connection, then you stuffed!
For once I hope Vodafone brands the phone with the Satnav GPS app, then it would be cool!! (Did they? We dont have the C702 yet)

which is so stupid
specially in our area, many ppl like to go campling in the desert
so , wat if i dont have gprs there ???

also, many ppl travel with their cars, between 2 or 3 countries
do u imagine how much we will end paying like this??
