Guest CJL Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Time for my first post I am looking at getting the new vario 2 when it becomes available. The only trouble I am having a the moment is deciding weather to get it with their co-pilot. If I get it without is it available to purchase later, or is there better alternatives?

Guest jimbouk Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 You can buy copilot for pocket pc seperately. I have seen it selling for between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Samsonite Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 you can buy any number of SatNav packages later but dont forget to factor in the cost of the Bluetooth GPS unit when buying later... The CoPilot s/ware only is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CJL Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks for the responses. Do t-mobile supply a gps when your order a phone with co-pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gingerprince Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I too am hoping for Vario II with Copilot, however I'm not sure they'll bundle it. Copilot live comes on Mini-SD, however the Vario II has Micro-SD. Now clearly this isn't a huge issue because one can easily use a card reader to transfer the software, however from a "consumer buying an all in one" thing I would guess T-Mobile wouldn't want the hassle. Hope I'm wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I dont think you even need a card reader to transfer the necessary files from the supplied quickstart SD/MiniSD onto a Micro SD. On ALK's site, they tell you how to create your own quickstart card and you can thus just use explorer to copy the files across using activesync.

Guest Spr1ngy Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 One extra you get by buying CoPilot from T-Mobile is you get 1 Years Subscription to the Traffic Live Updates which is an extra cost to all other users... that is when ALK get their arses in gear and release it to the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Well it will be if it flaming turns up tomorrow! Why aren't all ebayers as conscientious as me? It DID!

It is a very neat piece of kit. I love the fact the gps unit comes charged so you can play straight away. Comes with a quickstart mini sd, but if you install onto pc, and then install onto the 3100's micro sd and copy UK map onto it, it only takes about 140mb on the card, so you can have complete uk maps on the same card as your music/pics/mail attachments.
