 |
|
Hi,
Does anyone know of any smartphones running Windows mobile OS (either available now or due soon) that have an inbuilt GPS receiver - so that you can run Sat Nav without the need for an external GPS receiver?
Many thanks |

I think Mio may have one on the go soon.
It is reported to have a PDA size screen with onscreen touch pad for dialing out.
FAIK it's probably voice prompted as well so once the data are in there it's basically totally handsfree |

What is the difference between a PDA phone and a smart phone - is it just the size. Is a PDA phone better for running TT5 because of the bigger size.

A PDA Phone runs the Pocket PC operating system, and has a touch screen. Here you can run TomTom Navigator.
A Smartphone runs the Smartphone operating system and does not have a touch screen. Here you cannot run TomTom Navigator, but instead need to use TomTom Mobile.

And as if matters were not confusing enough, that's a smartphone not a Smartphone.
The big letter S Smartphoen denotes a handset running Windows Mobile, small letter s denotes all other phones with similar functionality.
I don't know of any Smartphones or smartphones available with built-in GPS but there are a few PocketPC Phone Edition handsets with built-in GPS available right now.

| The Nokia N95 has built in GPS and runs on Symbian S60 3rd. |

| Nokia N61 if its out yet, was announced with the Nokia sat nav application IIRC built in GPS - probably the first consumer phone fitted with GPS technology. Give it another year and GPS on phones will be as common as phones with cameras I think. - Mike |

Huh?  Show me where the N61 (a blackberry focused phone that doesn't even have a camera) has built in GPS. I've looked at all the specs on the site and didn't see anything about built in GPS (however i did see the LD-3W bluetooth GPS listed as an accessory...)
As i said before, the N95 is already out, and has been for at least a month. So that would make it "probably the first consumer phone fitted with GPS technology", wouldn't you think? |
