A Mitac Mio A701 would do the job. A friend has one and is pretty happy with it. Otherwise there's the E-Ten G500. They're both around the net from about £300 plus GPS software of your choice to run on Windows Mobile.

I'm personally waiting about 6 months till something like the Nokia N95 or HTC Trinity are released, which will have GPS built in, but also 3g calling, HSPDA data etc.

Would you be able to post the URLs to these phones specification/details?

Not the cheapest links, but easy to get info on the products.

If you only want the GPS for in car navigation then I would suggest a Parrot 3400 LS-GPS combined in car kit and gps receiver.

Benefon does/used-to make phones with GPS built in. We've got one at work but it's years old and very basic.

I don't know if they do fancier ones now at all, but might be worth a Google.

I have just ordered the Mio A701 from Expansys. It cost me £31.95 up front, plus £35 a month for 12 months, although you can reduce that to the minimum tarriff after 6 months without penalty.

Other variations available depending on original contract
