It's maps are not NavTeq or TeleAtlas and have been known to be inaccurate. As far as CP 6's routing logic, you may want to check out the following: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=33581 As far as BT receivers, I recommend any receiver that uses the SIRF III chipset. I have a Globalsat 338 with SIRF III and the lock-on and range of the receiver is amazing. I can even get locks onto up to 12 satellites indoors! :) As far as clips is concerned, take a look at ProClip. The great thing about proclip is that you buy a clip and holder so that if you ever change your device, you can just buy a rather inexpensive holder for the device you have. Check it out here: http://www.proclipusa.com/choosecountry/choosecountry.aspx I mentioned in my last post, that I highly recommend a commerical tool called SKTools. It's the Swiss Army of WM tools. The reason I mention this again is that the newest version of the app (v2.3.24) included a small .exe file that when run releases used memory. On my WM5 device (k-jam), each time I run it, I get on average of 800k to over 1mb of memory released. I can imagine that this would be an advantageous app for Treo 700w. Great Podcast guys. Jerry Gentlemen,

I blogged about it on jkontherun today. I haven't heard but I've been warning this would happen since Verizon announced the $15 per month "service" they will be unveiling. Hi Matt.

I don't know how they would do that though. Are you guys hearing anything like that?
