it comes with TomTom GPS software, but i don't know how uptodate it is, but seeing how it runs WM5, you can use any GPS software with it

even some that might be obtained through less than reputable distributors....

actually i hadnt even noticed it came with tomtom...thats pretty sweet...

raz could you test the gps reciever, does it work well or does it have a crappy reciever?

It seems to work fine when ever i first turn the player on, i turn on tomtom and it shows where i am, but then it says it lost connection and need the atenna, i don't carry that around, so i haven't really been able to test this feature.

To be honest, i am not sure how good the GPS part is, i think the receiver isn't very strong, but otherwise the phone is good, good touch screen, good battery life and so far quite durable in my clumsy hands.

I have a question. The headphone jack, is it a 3.5mm, a 2.5mm, or proprietary connection? Most likely I would take advantage of the A2DP bluetooth with some wireless stereo headphones, but until I had a pair I'd still like to know if the headphones that came with it were the only ones I could use.

works via the slot that connects to the USB cord, i haven't tried the headphones that came with the player

i just wanted to say that pointui is really slick.. i threw it on my old dell axim x5 and it really does make it alot more fun to use... and it uses little resources which is always important on a winmo device... btw i had pocketpc 2003 running on my axim so even those of you with older pda devices may want to give it a try..

Hey guys! That ui does look kind of cool! I have an old pocket pc(dell axim x30) and I would love to experiment with this ui!How do I accomplish this?

I'm quite sure it DOES, since it runs WinMo
