Plus, as eper all othersmartphones on the market that include compasses, this is far from a gimick inclusion and has real world use so should work as advertised.

(IMHO)
alot of compasses on smartphones are diar
if the htc works and this doesnt then one would assume its because the memory making the software laggy and unresponsive (128meg max ram)

as much as you can say its not a gimic i really dont understand why you would use a compass in street view to rotate an image for a street you are in when you could just turn your head. if your not in the street just use your thumb its quicker
sat nav systems tell you when you are needing to turn in yards etc. if you are focusing on compass along with the sat nav while driving then i would not like to be in a car with you are you are not focusing on the road.

yeah it should work, granted but i think its the least of the problems with the phone thats all.
