Yes I agree that the Samsung B7330 is a lovely Windows Mobile OS phone with GPS Receiver. Please note that "Garmin Mobile XT On The Move" Gps application is advertised and sold as "For Life" on a Micro SD Card from "Cape Union Mart" for R600, but here comes the catch - GPS is for Life Time Use BUT NOT UPDATEABLE - YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW MICRO SD CARD ANNUALLY to update the maps !!!!!!

Sound like the RAPE of the word FREE by the cellphone netrworks. Interesting. Hmmmmmm.

Now this phone becomes a No,No for me. Hold on to your I900/I780 as long as you can
 
Rather get a Nokia E72 with FREE lifetime navigation, map updates etc. Besides Symbian S60 is WAY better than the NON-TOUCHSCREEN version of Windows Mobile.
 
The Nokia navigation software has a horribly ineffective search feature and picks some stupid routes sometimes. Overall it's ok, but you get what you pay for.
