We are about to upgrade to a NextG phone which will have to be Blue tooth compatible. Looking at Samsung A412, SonyErickson ZF501 and the Telstra Zte 165, which is the better performer. I am very illiterate when it comes to these things but I believe that I can mate any of these to my Garmin Nuvi 760, am I correct.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers, Nev.

After putting off the CDMA to NextG conversion as long as possible, I got a good deal today.
One SG412 (i.e SG411 plus Bluetooth Headset) on a $20 plan for 24 months (zero downpayment) PLUS a ZTE850 for $9.95 (no plan, no SIMcard). I converted my existing GSM SIMcard to GSM+NextG for free to use in the ZTE850.
It looks like the External Antenna cable for the SG412 also fits the ZTE850 !

I have an unlocked A412, since Telsta gave it to me in mid December 2007, and have just bought a A411 to replace it. I had coverage without car kit at
Buley Rockhole and on the Douglas Esplanade. On the old CDMA you would not think about receiving coverage in these areas.
I have put my wife's Vodaphone GSM sim in the A412. We live out the back blocks of Virginia NT and are receiving a reasonable signal with this phone were on the ole Nokia it was very iffy. At $149 our solution is a bargain.
