I'm thinking of getting a handsfree car kit and Force cradle for my Nokia 6120 Classic, either a Ck-7W or CK-15W.
I'm also in the market for a new GPS. I like the look of the Garmin Nuvi 760, and notice that it has bluetooth capability.

Would this perform the same functions as the above mentioned Nokia car kits?
If so I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Is the Nuvi compatible with the 6120?
Has anyone paired these?

Be gentle, I'm a techno retard:)

Cheers
Glenn

Thanks for the info guys. I might go ahead and buy the Nuvi.
I'm not too fussed about making calls, but I do want to receive them.
How is the clarity of the speaker and mic?
Does the FM transmitter send the phone audio through the car stereo, or is that asking too much?

Cheers

Hi Glenn,

I find the bluetooth phone clarity accepatble. The Nokia carkit in my vehicle with microphone on the A pillar and speaker in the footwell is better, but only marginally. I find any handsfree kit never as good as a phone used normally anyway.

Don't know about the phone thru FM transmitter, haven't tried that but would be interested, may have to try it out :) But do know the MP3 player thru the FM transmitter is great.

Cheers

I would have to say the Nokia CK-7W car kit I have in my vehicle is excellent, now that my 6120 has had a firmware upgrade applied.

The CK-7W has always been a great performer. (I use it for a 6021 GSM phone as well)

Prior to the CK-7W, I tried different methods including a Supertooth II and a plug-it-in-the-ciggy-socket piece of crap.

I would have to say the use of the CK-7W car kit is much better than holding the phone to my ear, even when not actually driving.

Coupled with voice activated dialing and auto answer and hang up, a quality car kit will pay for itself in one fine.

Apparently the FM transmitter will send phone conversations through the car stereo. That sounds like a good thing....clarity wont get any better than that.

Found a comparison between the Nuvi 760 and Tom Tom 720.
