FYI,
I have yet to find a PDA phone with GPS that does not cost you to use GPS. All of the ones I found use cell phone towers, not Satellite for location and direction. What this means is
1. You will be charged to use navigation
2. No cell towers means no navigation
Although the latter issue is becoming less and less of an issue.
But living in NY, going into some parts of the Adirondack mountains does not have good Cell signals.
I bought a PDA with GPS and am very happy with it (Pharos)
Hope this helps

I'm not much of a phone guy but I did hear that the Blackberrys have decent GPS units in them. It does add to your monthly fee but you should be able to get one between $200 and $300 depending if you want to sign a contract or not.
