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?“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson

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.I have a cunning plan!

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.0 -
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
