my cell phone plan is going to end soon and im thinking about getting a pda phone with navigation and would like to knowwhat pda phones out there have gps navigation and is a good phone? also is it a good idea to use pda phone for navigation or do you suggest just getting a regular cell phone and buy a navigation unit? also does anybody know which blackberry have navigation. is navigation ready to go or do you have to buy extra crap for it to work

I had a treo 600 and a program called Mapolis which had GPS navigator features built in. Unfortunately the treo 600 doesn't have GPS but the Treo 650 and 700 do, the program would work.

the blackberry you are looking for is sold by nextel, the 7520. it is all ready to go, but requires like a 5/month service charge.

as to other pdas, you can use basically anything with bluetooth and windows mobile.. you just need to buy a GPS kit to hook it up, but no monthly service charge. look into which provider you want to go with first, most of them have windows mobile devices

I have a Sony Ericsson P990 and I love it.

i have mapopolus.
the reason i bought it is because its registration is not tied to the pda/cell device itself. but this software has alot of bugs in it so be ware. maybe the whole industry is experiencing this but form my experience the basic's of the program work well, the company refuses to do the last 9yards to really have a good product.

look at some of the blue tooth gps recievers. they are relly small and work well, i have a Clip-ON brand reciever. in the car you can place the reciever where its gets the best reception because the bt is a wireless technology

most likely ill be going with sprint of verizon. also would you recommend using PDA phones for navigation beacuse people have been telling me just get a regular cell phone and buy a realy navigation system

This phone is out already? I've been waiting for it.

Approximately how much was it? $700?

It's been out for a while, I think $800ish USD.

I'm waiting to get the P1000.

Which reminds me, I gotta go check out HoFo again. I haven't been there for a while.
