Mobile Google Map shows My Location

The Nokia E65 has just become almost a Nokia N95 with a GPS-like feature now available with the advent of Google Map for Mobile's new "MY LOCATION" feature. As mentioned in a previous post, this feature allows you to press "0" while you are using Google Maps to tell you roughly where you are. While this does not show you your precise location, you can figure out which direction you are going by refreshing your approximate location. This will give you an idea of what direction you are travelling on a street if you cant read a map. Try it yourself. Very cool feature to play with.

$19 CAP plan with Optus - FREE Nokia E65 deal!

Optus has just released a new deal which should have everyone reading this rushing out the door to get a Nokia E65. Their Optus $19 cap plan now includes a free Nokia E65! This includes $50 worth of free calls each month but this should only suit occasional mobile phone users. Or those looking to purchase a Nokia E65 for AU$456 paid over 24 months.

Here's what it includes
- Free calls to other optus pre-paid and plan users from 8pm - 12pm for 20min at a time (called "yes time")
- Free calls to other optus mobiles on the same bill, if you put this new phone on an existing mobile phone bill
- $50 worth of included calls, sms, international sms, video calls, mms, push to talk, and voicemail
- Free Nokia E65

Call rates are at:
47c per 30seconds with a 35c flagfall

SMS are at:
25c anywhere in Australia
50c international.

At the time of posting, the cheapest you can buy a Nokia E65 is $375 upfront as checked up on http://www.staticice.com.au/ but the average price is about $550. It would almost be worth signing up for this plan just for the phone.

Asking the Optus World people, the next up offer is the $49 cap but you have to pay an extra $5 per month for handset repayments! I don't think this deal will last long if the take-up is good.

NOTES:
If you are looking for a deal that includes wireless broadband, check out this deal

If you are wanting to spend more than $50 per month on calls, maybe a $29 cap is better with Three. Maybe good to be three.

How to pull apart your Nokia E65

If you ever get the urge to take apart your phone, this is how it is done (apparently). Remember, do not try this at home if you are the kind of person who doesnt know how to put back together something that you have pulled apart.
