    iPhone doesn't have sat-nav (gps), it also won't work I believe on the 3 network.

    The N95 is supposed to be a fantastic phone with GPS, it's available fairly cheap through vodafone now, but that would mean locking into a contract again.

    n82 is a good bit better

    when did ya get it? they're only around €365 now. looks like a very good phone alright but my N73's on the way and it's only half the price so we'll see how that is first.

    got it 6 weeks ago, yeah they seem to have come down a little alright :o

    to use sat nav on n73 you need a bluetooth gps receiver it does not have one built in

    You could try Windows Mobile devices, there are a few with inbuilt GPS now. I use the HTC Kaiser (TyTN II), also available is the HTC Touch Cruise, HTC Trinity, O2 Orbit and O2 Orbit 2.

    Cheerio

    if you are willing to wait a month or two then Sony Ericsson will be releasing the w760i in the US and possibly Europe.


    This will be SE's attempt at a Gaming phone. Have played with one of the Prototypes and its very nice.
    GPS is good and can use google maps etc.

    The only problem is the lack of a flash light for the camera, but if GPS is what your after then this is a slim and stylish phone to consider.

    will it have uiq?

    if not, no decent sat nav software can be used on it
