Pls dont buy any thing from Amazon again..They may sell u a Tuxedo if u r in a need of UnderWear..
They wrongly catagorize the products and fake the customers..
They have just one policy "FAKE IT AND SELL IT"

I have the Palm Treo 700wx. The mini SD card that comes with this unit is put into an adapter, then inserted in the phone. The card sticks up above the phone's case, so it gets bumped on occasion. More often than not this dislodges it, and of course when you reinsert it, you go through the whole recognition thing again -- GPS and The Windows Media detector (which I don't use and can't uninstall).
Most problematic is Bluetooth - I want to use this thing in my car, right? I want to use both the phone and the GPS, and yes, this may be at the same time. They (Palm) say this can't be done. It can, and works rather well - but then the next morning it requires a soft reset to get the phone to recognize the GPS. (So Palm is right after all :)
Other than reinserting the SD card and soft resets, the unit works well. Other issues are the small screen (on the Treo 700wx) for a GPS, and the aggravating Tom Tom software which I don't like much. For example, upon exit, it notifies you that the SD card is write protected and it will not be able to save your preferences. The guy at Palm said "Oh, yeah, that's no problem... there are no preferences to be saved." So did it occur to you guys to clean up the software for the Palm product line???
I knew this wouldn't be as good as the Garmin unit that wanted to get out of my car so badly it burst through the window one evening, but I figured that a GPS in my phone wouldn't get left in the car. Not worth it.
I want to drive, use a GPS, and talk on a hands-free phone all at the same time, and not fumble with a bunch of buttons to do it. I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 660, which looks like it will do all of this, with a nice bright screen and better user interface. Plus I'll only have the one unit (and not a separate hands-free speaker device).
PCUniverse (where I bought the Palm GPS) said this morning that they will let me know in five to seven days about the status of my return request. If they don't let me return it, look for it on Craig's List at a deep discount. :)Garmin Nuvi 660 Pocket Vehicle GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant
