There's a simple answer to all of this: if you don't get what you want, send it back. You have 7 days under the DSR, and 14 under Orange's own policy. If I don't get everything that's meant to go with the phone, I'll simply send it back and cancel the contract.

But surely as a "clearance" phone and only being listed with a data cable you expect it to arrive with not much more don't you? I agree you can send it back but you know what you're getting before it arrives so why bother? Also even if it doesn't arrive with much its a brilliant phone for nothing.

The blurb on the website is to cover their backs should they not have all the bits and bobs that go with the phone. A lot of the time, all the bits are there. My 6680 is a refurb and came with all the bits, even though the website said it possibly wouldn't have them. I'm willing to take the chance, as I can send it back should the bits not be there. The good thing about the DSR is that you can do exactly that - change your mind. The Orange cooling off period is even better because it gives you 14 days to change your mind.

You've got to remember that I plan to sell this phone on. It will be worth a whole lot less without the gubbins, as people will then have to go buy them.

......I got a Nokia 6680 two weeks back. Now I've got TomTom Mobile 5 on the Nokia and won't be parting with it any time soon.

Did you also have to buy a GPS receiver with the TomTom software in order to operate the phone as a satnav?

I have a Nokia 6630 and if I can use my phone as a satnav system with out having to buy a GPS receiver then that will be cool. Can somebody please confirm whether a GPS receiver is required for this?

thanks

the whole point of SatNav is it uses Satellites for positioning so uses 'Global Positioning Satellite receivers' to obtain this info. Given that most mobiles struggle to get a signal when away from most populous areas the chances of it being able to receive signals from orbit without a receiver is...slim

It depends on where you get TomTom Mobile 5 from. If you buy it from a shop or likewise, it will come with a TomTom GPS receiver. If you don't, you'll have to buy a separate GPS receiver.

I picked a BT77 off Ebay for £43 inclusive. Works really well with my 6680. I also bought a 512mb DV RS MMC card (the memory card) to replace the 64mb one that came with the phone, as you need a bigger memory card for TomTom Mobile 5. I'm not using my Garmin anymore now.

This one's like the one I bought (not same seller, though).
