Hi guys ... need some recommendations here ... my dad's company is getting him a new phone BUT he's not a gadget freak so he say he will buy for me and he take my old k800i So I'm looking into some pda phones and have NO idea which 1 to get .. Just for your information I already have an iPod Touch which i think is great in terms or apps and things ..

So mainly i'm looking for something that iPod Touch CAN'T DO ... and also GPS ! I've read some of the threads here regarding GPS and it is still a little confusing to me ... I've also tried my friend's Nokia N95 and the navigator is really really bad =.= The positions gets updated like 1 minute later .. causing us to actually go missing after using GPS ( should be the other way round isn't it ? )

Would be GREAT if there is any model which GPS works exactly like those GARMIN navigators .. is it free ? I believe some of them needs to be connected to 3G ( which costs a bomb ) or some needs to renew the software every year or so ... unless there are some hacks/cracks ( probably no discussion allowed on this ? ) Anyway here's the template ... hope to get some suggestions

BUDGET RANGE: MAX 2.7k

Brand Preference if any: None .. please recommend

Second hand: NO. New only

QWERTY keyboard: Preferably yes but not really important

Keypad: Doesn't really matter

GPS: YES

Bluetooth: Doesn't really matter

WIfi: YES

Frequent Overseas traveller to Japan and US? or other countries: Might go to places like Thailand, Spore, Germany, Vietnam .. but not for very long .. some phones can't be used in other countries ?

Camera Resolution minimum: Camera doesn't matter ..

Expandable Memory: Yes - Unless built in like 8GB or something

3G : Doesn't matter

HSDPA or higher: What's this lol?

Front Camera: YDoesn't matter

Gaming Type: Medium gaming ?

Screen Resolution: Don't know what's this

So in summary ... my budget is 2.7k max ... and i just need a basic phone with normal functions ( coz i already have an ipod touch ) PLUS GREAT GPS ... hope can be same as GARMIN nuvi 205w navigator those type .. as in no need to pay yearly for the software .. no need to pay 3G when navigating when driving and no need to pay whatever for life ... hope this exist for mobile GPS Others functions are just extra to fit 2.7k

edit : While waiting for a reply i've checked out the Handphone section and also found out that Nokia E71 is not a bad GPS phone ? Please recommend non-PDA phones as well ... my main priority is only the GPS .. thnx alot !
