Should I buy bluetooth GPS for TOMTOM Mobile or wait for V5

[Rimmer]

Hi,

I have recently been given TomTom Mobile (old version) for my Nokia 6600 from an uncle who has just upgraded to a PDA version of TOMTOM. The thing is he has kept the bluetooth GPS reciever so atm it's no use to me.
However I am going away at the end of the month and would like to have some sort of TOMTOM software for then.
I have spoken to TOMTOM and they tell me V5 will be available at the end of the month and retailers will have it a couple of weeks later.

I have noticed on the reviews that Quote:
TomTom announced to the PocketGPSWorld.com team at CeBit that the upgrade for existing Mobile customers would be free of charge. However no official statement has been made in form of a press release, so please do not accept this as cast in stone


The thing is I don't fance spending approx £100 on a bluetooth GPS reciever if it's gonna be available at the end of the month and I cant buy it without hardware.

If I end up having to buy a bluetooth GPS reciever can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase one and which model shall I go for and how much will it cost.

I have seen a sale on ebay with the following comment .....

BT-77 Bluetooth GPS Receiver with Nemerix chip http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=69928&item=5185291913&rd=1

With the current version of TomTom Mobile the software is locked to the TomTom BT GPS unless you have TomTom Traffic. In which case it is possible to use oher GPS receivers.

My preference would be to wait for Mobile 5 and buy the whole package as the BT receiver is supposed to be really super. (not that I have seen one yet ) However if you have the time constraints...
