Is there a way to tag photos with GPS coordinates only and not the other stuff that requires an internet connection? It's quite irritating when the camera application keeps nagging for a connection.

That happens probably because you have assisted GPS activated, so that camera app keep asking for a connection. Remember that actually obtaining a gps lock without network takes ages.

Nokia may try to justify that decision because it also officially requires a network connection for GPS to work. That is also a mistake, in my opinion.

Strange, you don't have the location method set to AGPS still do you (even though it won't work with the BT GPS I know)? If that's the cause, this is a bug.
But shouldn't Network positioning have been greyed out when I selected a bluetooth gps device instead of the internal?

It would be nice if this were the case though, I'd suggest just setting the location applet in the Control Panel to not use assistance and then you should be ok.
