The K530i is GSM and 3G


re the bluetooth GPS, but there isn't software for it, right?

There is a few programs that work using java (wayfinder, nav4all) that work on all current bluetooth enabled SE phones plus there is Tomtom that works P990i, M600i, W950i and P1i (all use bluetooth for the gps).

thanks guys - yeh i heard wayfinder doesnt do routing and nav4all needs gprs (so expensive whilst travelling/roaming)

so i guess a SE symbian phone is best...

Way finder does routing, if you mean it gives you live directions.
