Anybody here using a treo 650 on bell, specifially with navigation of any kind? Im looking at buying a 650/700p (if it comes out soon enough) but i want to know for sure if it can run navigation. I have tom tom, still need a bluetooth gps reciever but i want to know if it'll connect to the 650 with bluetooth?? My thought was bluetooth is bluetooth, should work fine but I asked at the bell store and they said not a chance....but they also told me that the treo cant sync using bluetooth either so they have 0 credibility with me. Anybody got input that mite help?

thanks for the links, it says people use gps yet the palm site says it wont work.....very strange. Maybe bell does something weird to their treos regarding what the bluetooth can do??

j_gor, thanks for the straight. "yes it works" answer, its retarded how tough that is to find, even the people that sell the product cant give that kind of answer. As for your gps receiver, which one are you using and does it work pretty well? (no signal drop, etc)

I have the tom tom kit...made by palm I think it is the navigator 5 system but don't quote me on that...has a palm receiver car charger for my phone and the gps reciever....seems to be fine for signal...to be honest I don't know too much about it...i just loaded the program and maps on my palm and it started working....saved my house position and then i enter an address and it tells me where to go....this hot british chick talks to me...it's alot of fun
