Meiyi: That is incorrect, Qstarz BT-Q818 is not a rebranded version of iBlue 737. The model Qstarz BT-Q810 is the rebranded version of the iBlue 737. The Qstarz BT-Q818 is a newer model that has longer battery life as well as faster access time. Well I guess you guys will not be carrying it, until Transystem GPS rebrand the new Qstarz BT-Q818 as some iBlue model.
It's too early to tell that the BT-Q818 realy uses a new firmware version of the MTK chipset than the i-Blue PS-737. GPSpassion carefully used the word of "it's possible that..." in his statement: "It's possible that it uses a new version of the MTK chipset"
Performance is also exactly the same if you look at the technical specs on the Time-To-First-Fix.
Per our feedback from the manufacturer of i-Blue, the BT-Q818 uses the same MTK firmware version as the i-Blue PS-737 and the battery operation time on it has been extended by using a slightly larger battery capacity.
We will keep following up with i-Blue on this issue and if they is really a new firmware version available from MTK, we will update this topic.
Thanks.
