Can you shed light on if a cell phone can be used and if so - which models.

Also - does the program look for the GPS using the SPP bluetooth profile or another profile?
Yes, Maemo Mapper uses the Serial Port Profile.

As for which cell phones would work: all it has to do is emit NMEA sentences to the SPP. If your cell phone can do that, then it should work with Maemo Mapper.
