Subject: Best GPS software for Canada???

I have a Nuvi 310 for use here in Ireland.

We are going to Canada on a driving holiday in July, touring Ontario and Quebec. I am thinking of buying a Holux GPSlim 240 Bluetooth GPS Receiver or Holux GPSlim 236 Bluetooth GPS Receiver for my 9500.

What is the best software to use with this on the 9500 for use in Canada?

Or would I be better buying Canada maps for the Nuvi 310 but, they seem very expensive at over ?200.

Many thanks for any pointers.

Regards,
Martin O'Neill

Re.: Office Documents On Smartphones  - Yes, I use the same combination of Qtek 9100 with a nBook. My 5MX gave up working a long time ago and I never replaced it. However, when I travel for work I take a laptop instead of the nBook as I need the Remote Access function to link up with my office computer.

Re.: Gmail pop3 access. Wifi. - Indeed it is not possible to use Gmail with a 5MX. You will have to use an in between POP3 mailbox and send your Gmail automatically through to the POP3 mailbox which you can empty with your Psion.   As to the wifi, you cannot use a 5MX directly with a Wifi card. It is possible to use a 5MX with an infrared modem on a mobile phone. However, whether you can use the wifi function of a card with the phone to connect the 5MX I am not sure how that would work. I don't think you will succeed.  As to a 3G phone, I have no experience with this. If the 3G phone has got a modem built in that is compatible with the 5MX I don't see any reason why it should not work, but could be wrong of course.

Best regards,

Hi all.

I was looking at my bluetooth folding keyboard earlier, a relic from my Sony Ericsson p800 days,
and thought to myself. If only there was a smartphone the size of a folded bluetooth keyboard,
that opened out as a decent size qwerty keyboard, with a retractable flexible display along one edge.

Then everyone could have their cake and eat it.

Here's a conceptual device - it just needs a keyboard.
