A few postings back someone mentioned something about GPS and cellphones.Now on a S60 cell you get a little program which connects to a bluetooth GPS reciever about the size and weight of a over-sized matchbox or a under size packet of 20 chesterfields.The gatget works on the same battery my old 7650 does and is good for 2-3 days continuous receive.The program on the S60 also can connect to the net to download fairly accurate maps of big cities (streed names) and also field maps.Obviously you have to carry a extra item with you.The connection and communication between the cell and receiver is seemless after the initial pairing.I wanted to buy one last year to use it while I fly (cross country paragliding) but decided otherwise because of the poor 7650 screen by today standards.Mind you I might still buy it after I get the N91.A BLUETOOTH enabled GPS receiver might be a better option thou.

This new phone by Benefon should be appropriate for those amongst us who tend to get lost. Here's their Commander NT model.
Here's a bit of information about the phone from their website.
Benefon Commander NT is a diverse mobile control unit that suits well for group leaders and for field work flow management. You can view the movements of up to 30 units on a map screen of Benefon Commander NT.
Benefon Commander NT helps you to manage your field organisation as well as make your business more effective. Time saved means more money. Now you can see where your workers are and their status with work and also if they need any help.

Here's an all-too-similar alternative to Benefon,available on request from
www.expansys.com and currently priced at £234.95.(About R2900):

@the wanksta: On the surface it's seems more like they just stuck a phone onto a GPS device. How do you explain no GPRS...even If I get lost on the outer Mongolial planes I'd still want to to surf the Esato.com forums.
BTW discovered that news24 has a wap site. wap.news24.com....by no means perfect but it's a good start.
Also discovered another little gem: The IEC's own wapsite...here you can check whether you're registered for the upcoming local government elections.

@ brix,
Yeah,I haven't the foggiest why GPRS is not included or mentioned.
I would've deemed it a 'bare essentials' feature if I was a handset manufacturer,(hmm,what would I call my own cellphone company... Wanqatel?Wanqia?WanQ??Semens?Oh hell,I'd better stop...),particularly in this information and multimedia-driven day and age.
GPRS essential indeed.It comes in so handy during long-winded staff meetings,when I am able to check out esato et al and it looks asif I'm busy taking loadsa notes/minutes of the meetings on the P900's jotter...
Good old news24.Will check its wap deriative later tonight when visiting my brother-in-law and his wife in south London, and he starts rambling about his superior understanding of all things carnal. I think that old country song, 'oh Lord,it's hard to be humble' was made for people like him.
Arrogant and dogmatic people do not bring out the best in me.
