I recently brought the NDrive S300, released at the end of 2007 with the tag "the first portuguese mobile phone" (even if it is based on a form made in China, and the only thing portuguese being the GPS and camera software).
But in fact is way more than just a mobile phone... It's a PocketPC (Windows Mobile 6.0) with GSM, GPRS, GPS (SIRFIII), 802.11 and bluetooth support (just to mention the network features).
For some weeks, I tried to look for a GPS client. I was very teased by the features on TomTom Go520, oh and NDrive G280R has navigation with satellite pics available for a couple of cities, but frankly it was a bit confusing for me to give away €250~€300 for something that I would use once, twice a week, or mostly during road travels (another drawback of those popular navigations systems is that they are made for the road, and not for the off-road). Another issue that I give importance is how to keep the maps up-to-date...
So, I ended up with the choice of buying a cheap GPS or, instead of a top GPS, get my hands on a PDA with GPS! Since at the time my mobile phone was already old-school, it seamed the perfect choice...
So the NDrive S300 was the winner! And how lucky and happy I am! =)
