CoPilot Live Smartphone review

Thursday 27 January 2005, 9:17 PM

This software is rubbish -- don't waste your money


Bugs include:
-- Stupid routing (Southampton to Hastings goes via the M25, London to Dublin via Belfast)
-- Frequent crashes when calculating routes
-- Speed camera alerts stop working for no reason.
-- Voice prompts don't work sometimes
-- Track logs are not saved (creates zero byte files)

ALK Support is non-existent, and there are numerous other bugs.

Nokia E63

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
