But TomTom please call up Sanyo/Epson and get their 500 ppi display. Or Samsung and their 400 ppi display. Basically, the screen should have a minimum of 800 px width so that it can be used for effective web browsing (even the iPhone's 480 is not enough) on the go.<br><br>Must haves for my next phone:<br><br>1. 800 px width display (but the phone must not be wider than iPhone)<br>2.

I have purchased software that lets me use the external GPS rcvr. with my phone as much as I want.... I just don't like needing the second piece of equipment.  So if the chipset is in the phone and works with off the shelf software without the need for the carrier to provide it... I would be HAPPY. (or at least one step closer to being happy ;-))]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RadikulDude]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2007 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TomTom thinking about its own "GPS PDA / smartphone?"]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/tomtom-thinking-about-its-own-gps-enabled-pda-smartphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/tomtom-thinking-about-its-own-gps-enabled-pda-smartphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about the HTC TYTN II released at the end of August.

However in the U.S., the TyTn-II is only going to be carried by AT&T and it is rumored that they have crippled the phone and disabled GPS on it, and also removed one of its two cameras. If this is true it is a shame, and enough to consider buying an unlocked one. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DJT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2007 6:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TomTom thinking about its own "GPS PDA / smartphone?"]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/tomtom-thinking-about-its-own-gps-enabled-pda-smartphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/tomtom-thinking-about-its-own-gps-enabled-pda-smartphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gee.
