Buying GPS Phone in 2 days ... shooot...

[Rockfella]

Hi,

I am buying a new phone just for using GPS!

Please suggest a non-samsung, full fledged GPS enabled phone for as low as possible.

Camera with flash would be great.

TIA.

I would suggest a Lumia since it comes with Nokia Drive. We still use Nokia Maps when needed on my Dad's 808. Offline navigation plus Nokia battery.

I was thinking of the Lumia 525. Please tell me more about the Nokia Drive.

If GPS and navigation is your 1st priority then nothing beats Nokia.
Go with the cheapest Lumia. I think there is a deal on HS18 for lumia 525. Google for more details of the phone.
If budget is your concern go for a resale Nokia N8. Best Camera, Solid battery life and Great navigation. You can get one for about 5k in resale.

Another vote for Lumia 520 or 525.

What's the closet match of N8 currently?

In terms of camera The 925 and above but they are above 20k.

lol let me buy 525, camera is not a priority.

You can also try and buy a second hand 808 if other smartphone features don't matter much. You will get a great camera and the same GPS capabilities that Nokia has in their every phone.

use a car charger

Which one? I think something running in the background is draining the battery rapidly.. what could it be? Any window phone users?

3G

Whatsapp was known to be a battery drainer in Windows phones.

 

[Rockfella]

I am using 2G connection and no whatsapp. Need to dig more. Lol my Asha 210 has 1200 mah and this windows phone has 1430. This is an obvious way to reduce price to make the phone "mainstream"

3G

[DOUBLEPOST=1390847340][/DOUBLEPOST] Is this compatible with Lumia?

I read the battery takes few cycles to "settle down". It is much better today ...

Yes the battery does take a few cycles to settle down...kind of like adapting to your daily usage pattern! But you should get a car charger
