what phone? - GSM-Forum

Dirk's · 11-19-2008, 12:16

It’s time for me to buy a new cell phone.

I liked the Tomtom software in my old Nokia 6600 and never had a problem with it.
What new phone, if possible with internal GPS antenna, works well with Tomtom ?
I thought about getting something like the Nokia E66 / E71 or Blackberry Bold / Storm.

Dirk's,

Don't overlook the Nokia N96. Apparently quite a good unit what I have seen from the specs and raves on TV and I'net.

HTC Diamond
HTC Touch HD

www.htc.com

The best phones by far!

Will those phones work with TomTom and internal GPS antenna?

I do like the HTC Diamond, actually I have never heard of it before, it comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 Prof.
What Navigaton software works with it?

Dirk's,

I know that you get GMXT for WM. So that is already one option for GPS software. Route 66 is another option there and TomTom (although I don't know if it will work with internal GPS).

Nokia E71 is a very good phone but it works only with tomtom 6 and external antenna at this moment.

Nokia E71 is the best smartphone of the year :

BUT when tomtom will release new version, the nokia E71 will be the best choise.

HTC Diamond works well with tomtom 7 but phone is not a good choise because you need little fingers to use it.

Dirk's,

There is also another one to compare. The Samsung Omnia. How good the GPS is I can't really say. Will anyone with one give us a OK/NG on this GPS phone? My one contract is due in 5 months for renewal and I'm getting all the opinions, raves and rants together to make an informed choice.
