i am "less is more" kind of guy with regards to tech. if i am not using it, why leave it turned on? old habits die hard. besides that, isn;t open bluetooth sort of a security risk, slim as it may be.

i used to have phones that would die with just 10 minutes of talk time, 18 hours of stand by. my current phone is an LG8300 and am shocked that i actually seem to get about 5 days of standby.

well anyway, to stay on subject i wanted to see about adding a GPS to my N800 as I thought this would be a natural extension and a no brainer upgrade. however, isn;t the Nokia kit about $200 or more? Pricing like that is how Nokia shoots themselves in the foot. not to say that their;s isn;t a quality unit and nokia developers don;t deserve to be compensated but it seems like there is alot of full function GPS units out there for under $200. Plus the initial reviews on the built in GPS in the N810 didn;t sound too glowing......ideally, i;d like to pair up a cheap 3rd party bluetooth GPS to my N800 and the easier Nokia or 3rd party developers can make this, the more N800's will be sold.
