Cracking Purchase!
I ordered this BlueNEXT51 Channel Bluetooth GPS to pair with my Blackberry Curve 8320 in order to use the Google Maps software. The device was instantly recognisable to the Blackberry, and paired within 15 seconds of start-up.

It took a few minutes to acquire the satellite signals the first time it was started, but on subsequent start ups, GPS acquisition has been really quick, and to be fair, perfectly adequate for such a small device.

I have been amazed at it's positional accuracy too, compared to my old 12 channel Garmin device, this device is bang on the crosshairs every time.

I have now used this in both heavily forested areas, and urban situations with lots of concrete and steel, and have been really pleased with it's ability to acquire and maintain a lock. Battery life is good and certainly not a cause for concern. If you are after a bluetooth compatible GPS, then for the money this is spot on! No reason not to purchase it.

Straight out of the box
Worked first time with BlueNext's tiny USB BT dongle in the laptop, and works with my SE M600i. Gets a signal anywhere and battery life is amazing. The 4 star rating is only for techies: the manual is crap, so if you want to do clever things with it you need to be a detective. Start by downloading GpsView off the BlueNext website. If you are not a geek and just want a GPS that works - get it.

The best gadget
I was looking for a GPS reciever to use with my HTC S620 Smartphone. I use it with Live 7 Software for Windows Mobile (UK & Ireland) (UK & Ireland) on the phone. It took minutes to set up and "just works".
