    Mobile phone as a bluetooth GPS for laptop?

    I'm in the market for a new mobile phone. If I could find a GPS equiped phone which was capable of bluetoothing the gps data to my laptop ie, acting as a bluetooth GPS receiver, it would have to be very high up on my short list.

    Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

    My son demonstrated this to me the other day inside the house.
    I was impressed, way beyond what my e-trex will pull in.
    So yes they exist, not a clue of the brand/model, I will inquire tonight if some one else doesn't provide the info.
    cheers

    Don't forget the new road rules which will ban the use of a phone as a GPS.

    Ok, bit more info.
    Nokia N95 runs on a Symbian operating system, and will need to down load and install some free software called Extgps from Symarctic.com found here.
    cheers

    I am currently running Amaze GPS which is free/trial GPS program for Blackberry & found it very good. Be nice to use Blackberry as Bluetooth GPS receiver as well for Laptop, but suspect an App is reqd.
    Cheers..B
