Hi mate.
Im located in NSW although willing to post.
You can turn this into a Sat Nav unit although GPS not built in, only GPRS, WIFI (bluetooth GPS units available). Also relevant programs will need to be purchased.
Battery life is Average for a phone although good for a PDA. I find myself recharging around every three days. General use includes over three hours talk time (FREE TIME, and dont live with my gf yet) and excel editing/viewing (bills bills). NOKIA???
Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me for any further queries.
Justin
