I've got M600 and want to use TomTom or maybe Garmin navigation software with it, but I don't want to buy GPS enabler HGE-100 because I have Walkman headset which I believe is much better than HGE-100. So I think if I'll use it only for GPS it's quite expensive to pay 35 pounds for it.
I think Bluetooth GPS receivers made by third party manufacturers should work as well and they are cheaper (20-30 pounds). In addition it's possible to use them with LapTops or PDAs. For example on eBay there are a lot of cheap BlueNEXT and other Bluetooth GPS receivers.
So, do those third party GPS receivers work with SE smartphones as well as HGE-100?
