got a warning that i don't have a gyroscope on my mozart. anyways the app couldn't find my location

Aw that's a pity pikacz, it works great here for me.

Yeah. Any pre-Mango phones won't be able to use any of the augmented reality apps very well (heads up compass being my favorite), if at all.

So does that mean that the Lumia 800,s lack of a gyroscope will prevent it running these kind of apps?

L800s don't have gyroscopes?! I never knew.

Anyway, you can run these apps, but they most likely won't work properly. The HeadsUpCompass app I downloaded for my gyroscope-less Focus doesn't respond to my movements very well, even though I have a compass in my phone. It usually points in one direction and then stays around there, no matter how much I turn around.
