We're all here to learn from each other.

Sorry, not my baliwick...I pretty much detest bluetooth and do not use it for hardly anything outside of the slight use of stereo BT headphones. it can be done if he jailbreaks it.

If you're looking for navigation you only want to pay ONCE for, good luck with that. You can buy a dedicated nav device but updates you would probably have to pay for. That's why I like Navigon. Updates are free and it was a one-time $70 cost for the life of the device. And if I "upgrade" to a newer iPhone, that app goes right on the newer phone.

Well, you just plug the new iPhone into your computer and iTunes will load all your apps on your new iPhone.
But don't expect iPhone apps to work on Maemo/Symbian in much the same way Windows Mobile apps don't work on Maemo/Symbian.
Unless you mean Java games....ugh. Take a look at Ravensword for the iPhone. Also, the GTA: Chinatown Wars game for the iphone is pretty much a direct port from the DS version. And NOVA and Modern Combat for a pocketable online, multiplayer FPS fix.

Can't help you there as unless it's already a free app it's piracy. And if it's a free app you just email a link to it they click on within the iPhone and they can download it themselves.
