刚才去翻我biketo的帖子,http://biketo.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=81415&pid=1514306&page=7&extra=page%3D1#pid1514306
无意中找到了sinp推荐的gphone软件OruxMaps,有手机版本和桌面版本OruxMapsDesktop!
顺便说一下,我曾经在iphone下面找类似的软件,无果,没想到gphone的软件这么丰富!

不说废话了,自己去看,gphone gps用户可以开始测试了,这个软件我大概看了一下,是ozi在gphone下最合适的替代品。

OruxMaps

New version: OruxMaps v.2.8.4! (Android Market).

OruxMaps is a FREE appliaction for Android.

OruxMaps is a map viewer. It can work in two modes: online with google, microsoft, yandex,… maps, and offline, with calibrated maps for OruxMaps

If you want to work offline, you need to calibrate your own maps. It is neccesary:

  • NEW in OruxMaps 2.8: With this version you can create your offline maps from online sources, with the built-in Map Creator (See the manual section)
  • Create a map from scratch with a customized version of TB Atlas Creator (See the download section)
  • OruxMapsDesktop + image (the map) + coordinates of the four corners
  • OruxMapsDesktop + a calibrated map for OziExplorer. There are a lot of applications that allow you to create Ozi maps (see Links section)

With OruxMaps you can:

  • Online map viewer (Google, Microsoft, Yandex, WMS,…)
  • Online maps can be cached for offline navigation.
  • Map Creator, from online maps to offline maps
  • Offline map viewer. There is an application that lets you create calibrated maps for OruxMaps (see Download and Manual page).
  • Offline layered maps.
  • Map rotation, with compass or your direction.
  • Map autoload, when leaving current map, or when a more detailed map is found in current position.
  • TrackLog: Record your tracks (gpx, kml format)
  • View old tracks/routes (gpx and kml format)
  • Analize tracks/routes
  • Zoom
  • Save and edit Waypoints
  • Upload/download your Tracks from Everytrail.com
  • Live Tracking with MapMyTracks.com
  • Show coordinates, header, speed, altitude, …
  • And this is only the beginning!

桌面快速搜索联系人的功能很方便,非常智能,但是选择联系人慢。可能是因为我联系人太多,666个contacts,如果按照一个电话或一个email算一个联系方式,数目至少要翻番。
内存还是不够玩,逼着你重启。
遇到几次死机,如果重启不勤快的话,玩个一两天说不准什么时候就没有反应了。
短信传统方式不直观。之前用了一段时间iphone,对聊天式的短信界面很喜欢,据说gphone也如此。
以前N73支持的shift键多选功能没了……
S60 3rd fp2版本的菜单管理功能还是不如以前版本的好用,某些程序或者目录限制了移动选项,虽然能用别的办法处理,但是不方便。
电池很耐用,至少新电池看起来是这样的。
通话音量有点小,接了耳机又超大。
gps搜星速度有时候出乎意外的快。
有些很炫的功能,比如wireless presenter。

从外观和身材上来说,这个机器太轻薄了,平时在床上电脑上网,随手一扔,经常找不到……

暂时想到这么多,户外和其他应用还没有……

说一句ovi suite,很bt,升级提示需要2G空间,安装大概是几百兆,缓存了安装文件又是几百兆,我只求一个pc同步软件,至于么……

大家都在说手机/手机应用/网络应用,iphone出来的时候iphone火,gphone出来又被说成iphone杀手。我这两天终于想明白了,之所以把最新的手机定位在数字键盘小屏幕Nokia手机上,还是因为我把它定位在了户外全能机型的使用范围。iphone我现在已经没兴趣了,gphone我曾经暗自期待那么久,只是冲着Google的那么多服务就会让我蠢蠢欲动我却一直没有选择。只因为它们的特点都是适应城市生活,休闲,娱乐以及基于网络的应用,显然不适合我下面半年的出行计划。

近日困惑全球手机制式频段的问题,查了些资料,整理在此。以wikipedia和nokia官网为准。

  1. G:generation,代,技术上的更新换代。xG表示x代,简单明了,没有其他含义。具体2G,2.5G,3G……的含义见下文。

  2. 关于频段:
    Quad-band,四频,GSM 850/900/1800/1900。经常提起的四频手机,适应全球制式,仅限于2G技术,也就是语音通话。我们需要关注的是3G技术,用于处理数据传输。而一般的3G手机都是支持2G四频段的。

    详细资料,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad-band

    WLAN

    A technique to combine the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band to give a theoretical bitrate of 600 Mbps.

    2G

    GSM frequency bands The GSM standard originated in Europe, where mobile phones occupy two frequency bands: one in the 900 MHz range and one in the 1800 MHz range. When GSM technology crossed the Atlantic to the Americas, it was impossible to reuse the same European frequency bands since those had already been allocated to other devices by the FCC. Hence, a different pair of frequency bands were made available for GSM use: the 850 and 1900 MHz bands.

    In summary, a quad-band mobile phone is used to designate a phone that can operate in the following GSM frequency bands:

    • 850 MHz (U.S./Canada/Latin America/Brazil (Only the carrier Vivo in the south and south-east of Brazil))
    • 900 MHz (Africa/Europe/Brazil/Australia/Asia (ex Japan and S. Korea))
    • 1800 MHz (Africa/Europe/Brazil/Australia/Asia)
    • 1900 MHz (U.S./Canada/Latin America/Brazil (Only the carrier Vivo in the north, north-east and centre-west of Brazil))

    Some companies refer to this feature as “World Phone”, due to the variety of bands a quad-band phone supports.

    Note that hardly any quad band phones cover GSM-450, a band used in sparsely populated areas or in less developed countries due to its longer range. While a “quint band” phone (450/850/900/1800/1900) is possible, none have yet been announced.

    3G

    Further information: UMTS frequency bands

    UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA devices operate in the UMTS frequency bands 800/850/1900/2100 or 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz:

    • 2100 (downlink) / 1900 (uplink) for Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia (including South Korea and Japan) and Brazil (usually referred simply as UMTS2100)
    • 1900 for North and South America
    • 2100 (downlink) / 1700 (uplink) for WIND Mobile and T-Mobile USA, called AWS Band (usually referred simply as UMTS1700)
    • 900 for Australia (Optus and Vodafone Australia in rural areas), Vodafone New Zealand and in the future in countries that currently use GSM900
    • 850 for North and South America, Australia (NextG), New Zealand (Telecom XT)
    • 800 for Japan (NTT DoCoMo in rural areas)

    Note that being UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA quad band doesn’t mean that phone is a GSM / GPRS / EDGE quad band. However nearly all HSUPA quad band devices are EDGE quad band too.

    Five and Six band phones (800/850/900/1700/1900/2100) are possible but none have been announced.

  3. 关于中国3G的频段:中国电信获得1920-1935MHz和2110-2125MHz频段,中国联通1940-1955MHz和2130-2145MHz频段,而中国移动获得的频段是1880-1900MHz和2010-2025MHz,其3G标准是基于TDD模式的。
    需要注意:2100MHz只是一个标准,并不是说仅支持2100MHz,联通的频段是完全符合2100Mhz范围的。具体范围懒得查了。
  4. 关于Nokia:同一款手机以小型号代表销售地区不同,而支持的WCDMA网络频段也不同。在Nokia手机输入*#0000#可以查到具体小型号。
    以风靡全球的E71为例
    # E71-1 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/2100 HSDPA
    # E71-2 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/1900 HSDPA
    # E71-3 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100 HSDPA
    水货的E71如果不幸买到了美国版本E71-2是无法支持国内联通的WCDMA频段的。

    以我关注的E52为例,这个机器没有发行美国版本
    # WCDMA 900/2100 (Nokia E52-1)
    # WCDMA 850/2100 (Nokia E52-2)
    无论购买哪里的E52机型,都能支持联通的WCDMA频段,同样都不可能在美国使用。

    Nokia E系列更多资料:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_Eseries

    顺便说一下iPhone,同时支持850/1900/2100MHz频段,可以在中国,美国和欧洲通行使用3G。

  5. UMTS技术和频段的其他资料,这里说的远不如wikipedia清楚。

    http://www.umtsworld.com/umts/faq.htm

    What are the different types of 3G networks?

    ITU Recommendation ITU-R M.1457 specifies five types of 3G radio interfaces:

    • IMT-2000 CDMA Direct Spread, also known as UTRA FDD including WCDMA in Japan, ARIB / DoCoMo recommendation. UMTS is developed by 3GPP.
    • IMT-2000 CDMA Multi-carrier, also known as Cdma2000 (3X) developed by 3GPP2. IMT-2000 CDMA2000 includes 1X components, like cdma2000 1X EV-DO.
    • IMT-2000 CDMA TDD, also known as UTRA TDD and TD-SCDMA. TD-SCDMA is developed in China and supported by TD-SCDMA Forum
    • IMT-2000 TDMA Single Carrier, also known as UWC-136 (Edge) supported by UWCC
    • IMT-2000 DECT supported by DECT Forum.For more information about 3G air interfaces, download ITU “What is IMT-2000″ presentation (2.5Mb!). Note that page 3 does not classify CDMA2000 1X as 3G, but page 6 does.
    please see ITU presentation page.
    Some 2.5G systems (GSM GPRS, IS- 95B and CDMA2000 1X (?)) will be able to deliver 3G services, so it will be difficult for users to see the difference.

    What are the UMTS frequencies and channel spacing?

    1900-1920 and 2010-2025 MHz Time Division Duplex (TDD, TD/CDMA) Unpaired, channel spacing is 5 MHz and raster is 200 kHz. Tx and Rx are not separated in frequency
    1920-1980 and 2110-2170 MHz Frequency Division Duplex (FDD, W-CDMA) Paired uplink and downlink, channel spacing is 5 MHz and raster is 200 kHz. An Operator needs 3 – 4 channels (2×15 or 2×20 MHz) to be able to build a high-speed, high-capacity network.
    1980-2010 and 2170-2200 MHz Satellite uplink and downlink

Cydia这个软件,本身也是一个软件的管理平台,从debian移植了很多有趣而且实用的软件到iPhone。

似乎水货iPhone的破解也依赖此软件。一知半解,我对iPhone的了解才刚刚开始……

朋友gmail最新的状态消息:“弟弟问我:有没有智商低一点的智能手机….”

我说,他弟弟很牛,值得mark!

智能手机,想说爱你不容易。
nokia的签名策略是脱裤子放屁,iphone的传输文件和蓝牙都不直接支持,gphone只有水货必须自己搞定一切,Windows mobile我已经放弃太久都不想提了。
无论哪一个都不是一下子就能上手的智能机。

blackberry没用过不发表意见
