| Oh yeah, and i noticed that most of these units don't have WAAS enabled (because of the new sirf star III chipset)... isn't WAAS supposed to be important? |

Hi Phokus,
I have a GlobalSat BT-338 and I think that it’s an excellent GPS receiver. It generally gets one or two more satellites than my Fortuna Clip-On and more important it keeps a much better lock on the satellites. If you drive in a hot and sunny climate then I’d suggest that you get the silver colour one, so it will reflect the heat a bit more than the black one. 
What do you wish to use the BT GPS Receiver for? In most cases, especially vehicle SatNav, WAAS isn’t that important.
Regards,
