Am hunting down a new contract, and it looks like I am going to have to go Tmobile to get the deal I want.

I have found offers for the following phones - SE W580i, Nokia 6300, Samsung U600, SE W850i, SE S500i, SE W810i, Samsung D900, SE 750i.

It would be really handy if we could stick some sat nav software on the new phone. I realise we'll need to buy a GPS device as well, but which of these phones will work with some sat nav software?

I have had a good look around and found some information. I would prefer one of the software packages that doesnt need to connect via GPRS to get routes etc. and would prefer a sat nav with USA and Euro mapping.

Any help or advice? Or pointers to a good new customer deal with a suitable phone. The deal I am really looking for is a 12 month free cashback.

Cheers

Tomtom is the best satnav. Check their website for supported models. It also works on the N95 but doesn't use the internal GPS Receiver; it will work with an external GPS.

Tomtom only lists Nokia 6600, Orange E200 and a couple of Qtek models as compatible.

You're looking in the wrong place:

Ah Cheers. They need to update the FAQ's!

Any ideas why the SE950i is supported, but none of the others?

Sorry, no. I'm more of a Nokia person.

I know that only Nokias that are running the 3rd edition of the S60 platform will run Tomtom 6, the older 1st and second edition S60 Nokias will only run Tomtom 5.

Perhaps Sony have a similar situation.
