    are these things any good. Been thinking about the tomtom go as this is purely a satnav system.

    It might be worth having a look at this site

    http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/

    and also the forums here

    I think there have a few people in the forums who use these systems.
    Looking to raise some money ;)

    This is a discontinued line and unlikely to be found in stores.

    Or just do as I did. Got a free Orange SPV C500 and the TomTom Mobile SatNav (inc BT GPS Receiver) was £150. All my gadgets in one (the phone has 512MB ram for MP3s, Pocket Internet Explorer, Pocket Outlook etc). Not the best at anyone thing but does the lot in one device (one charger, one case etc)....

    the early spv's suffered from poor battery life and various software issues, however the spv c500 has been voted the best smartphone released to date by numerous publications

    Trust me, I have had just about every smartphone (and every SPV). The C500 is the first one which favours well as a phone with the competition, never mind its other abilities. Far ahead of Original SPV, as the Model T is from the Focus ;)
