All D810 versions have inbuilt GPS? - P3600 General

Hey guys!
I'm going to buy a few Dopod D810 (one for me, along with a number of my friends) from China/Taiwan. I was wondering if you guys know:
1. Do all D810s have inbuilt GPS?
2. Any differences between later or earlier D810s?
3. How do I check whether a D810 is the 'early' or 'later' editions?
Thanks in advance guys!

Go here for more info.
Code:
http://www.dopodasia.com/Dopod/Singapore/En/News/HotNews/The+D810+%E2%80%93+Now+Get+Ultimate+3.5G+Connectivity+Enhanced.htm
The gist is that
"Availability of GPS ROM Shipment of D810 arriving from March 2007 will have the GPS ROM installed into the devices. Existing D810 users can upgrade their sets for free, by downloading a GPS ROM Code, to equip their existing D810 with the GPS function at Dopod International’s website at www.dopodasia.com."

QTEK 2020

Hi all I have just ordered a QTEK 2020 and am waiting eagerly for it...
At this point I have just one question: are software, drivers, applications, settings, roms and so on common for all of XDA II, MDAII, QTEK 2020, i-MATE and HTC? Should I look for specific QTEK 2020 software and drivers or is everything compatible? Are there specific QTEK 2020 ROMS or can I flash it with an XDA II rom for instance?
I'm asking this because there seems to be much more staff for XDA II and barely anything for the QTEK 2020.
Thanks.
Only had my Qtec 2 weeks, flashed the ROM to below, excellant I would recommend to anyone.
My new ROM details:Get this direct from QTEC http://www.qtek.nu/files/RUU172752WWE.zip
1.72.00WWE,
ROM date 03/15/04
Radio version 1.14.00
Protocol version 1337.24
ExtROM Version 1.66.130
History:My QTEC was a unlocked version from Expansys http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108269, I use Orange, I used the info from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866 specifically page 4-NPG (Thanks)
1. Get to bootloader (power+navi-key+reset)
2. Put device into cradle
2. Run update (the original from Qtek)
Took about 1 hour for whole process to complete! :?
I have seen a vast improvement in the general speed/stability for the device since ROM update, so i would recommend it.
I use TomTom 3.03 Navigator GPS software, with a TomTom Bluetooth reciever and a BlueTrek G2 headset at the same time no problem. I can even recieve calls while navigating!
With regards to Software you might want to look in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/FAQ for details of the differences between devices, mainly operating system ram etc.
Hope this helps you, this is the best all purpose gadjet I have ever had...
thanks gadjet, at least you're giving me the feeling that I haven't spent all that money for nothing. I have spent £399 on the qtek 2020, got it from expansys too, but unfortunately, i ordered it friday and on my order status they said that it's still at the central warehouse and I have to wait 3 more days for it to be shipped!! So I'll now have it on Wednesday or Thursday most probably!! One problem with the QTEK site is that it's all in Swedish or whatever language it is, and I don't understand anything other than Maltese, English, French and Italian :?
BTW, thanks especially for the link below gadjet, it basically says that apparently any software for any of the XDA II, MDA II, QTEK 2020 i-MATE and HIMALAYA are common, so if I don't find a spcific thing for the QTEK 2020 itself I may use one for the other brand names....

TomTom 3 on Universal?

Hello
I am thinking of upgrading from my Orange SPVM5000 and just wondered if anyone had got TomTom 3 running on the Universal - as I know it is older software - but it does the job and I don't really want to have to upgrade AND buy new software if possible.
I did a search but could not see if anyone had asked this question before.
Thanks

GPS Rom for Dopod 838Pro?

Can Dopod 838Pro use the same GPS Rom from D810? If so, where can can get it or anyone can launch?

Does the P3600 have gps or not

I'm confused, does the P3600 have a built in gps receiver?
I've done a search and it seems some do and some don't (does it require a rom upgrade to enable?).
The orange M700 has screen shots on some sites with nav software running but there is no mention of gps in the specs (I'm assuming the M700 is a re-badged P3600).
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
All HTC Trinities have GPS chip inside.... ROM updates are available to enable the GPS chip. These includes the official Orange and Dopod Roms or cooked ones

Thanks - another phone to add to my shortlist along with the p3300, eten x500 and g500 (looking to get another phone when my contract expires - currently using my xda2 as I've smashed the screen on my Mio a701)
I've just got a white m700, and in the box comes a leaflet invitation to try the Orange sat-nav free for 7 days, and the instruction book mentions GPS too.
My only problem is that I only had a quick look this morning before leaving for work. It should be charged and ready to rock and roll when I get home later

dopod d810 gps enquiry

hi there,
i juz owned a new dopod d810 for RM1200(approx 370 USD)..
This is my first PPC n everything including the gps feature is new to me..
I m considering purchasing the mapking map but one of my friend told me that the gps device in D810 is useless.
According to him, the fastest speed you can drive while navigating with the gps is 30kmph before it'll start beeping..thats slow!
It's it true?
