		<description><![CDATA[We reviewed the Blackberry 7100i back in February - and it does have a built-in GPS.  The 7100i is offered through Sprint.

Written and video review here:

Also check out the Suunto x9i GPS Wristwatch.

[quote comment=&quot;1990&quot;]when using it walking around a campus, I assume you have to carry along the bluetooth GPS device as well?

I hate that the &quot;man&quot; (whoever you want that to be) cripples the GPS in these newer phones.  I think the capability is there for it to be fully functional GPS.  Something about AGPS I read somewhere.[/quote]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been using TomTom Navigator 5 with my Treo 650 for about a year.  This is a bluetooth device the size of a pack of gum.  I put it on the dashboard and have the maps of the USA on an SD card in the Treo.  There is also a monthly subscription that I haven&#039;t tried that warns me of congestion ahead in real time.  I&#039;ve only regretted not having that once, so far.

I really like the voice prompts on long, boring highway stretches where I might miss the exit.

I also like the accuracy, like where it can tell that I&#039;m on an access road instead of the main road.

Finally, I like the fact that it has many stores, movie theaters, government buildings, etc., preprogrammed in so that I can just look for them by name.  I&#039;ll often type in the information when somebody tells me their location so that I don&#039;t have to push too many buttons when I&#039;m in the car.

I also used it while walking around an unfamiliar campus ... it has a pedestrian mode ...

I only got TomTom because it supposedly worked with both Mac and Treo, but I highly recommend it for many reasons now!]]></description>
