Hi, I'd like to put together an all-in-one, combining a cellphone for voice and data, camera, MP3 and PDA that supports Pathaway.
Can someone suggest a combination phone that supports the software as is?
Compatible Cell Phone?

You might want to consider the Palm Treo 650... (http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo650/) - The only thing you would need would be an external bluetooth GPS. (The Treo doesn't have a GPS built in...)

Hello,
I am using the HTC TyTN , that runs all thefeatures you mentioned plus video call and has an included querty keyboard. You need an external bluetoth GPS receiver.

You might consider its successor, that the HTC TyTN II, that has improved memory and an internal GPS receiver.

It appears getting all the features I was asking for in an integrated-GPS cell would be at least $500 unlocked.
So I'm headed for bluetooth.
If I got a Treo 650/680 (looks like $150 on eBay unlocked), would the only additional thing I'd need be something like this:

Or would I need other additional accessories or software?
Thanks for your help, I'm not much up on cell phones (my current plan is Tmobile prepaid GSM.)

The BT GPS you refer to seems to have a pretty short battery life between charges - I would suggest you might want to look into the iTrek M3 for the same price as yours, but with a 15 hr battery life. (http://www.semsons.com/im3blgpsresi.html) I use this GPS with my Palm TX using Pathaway and am VERY happy with it.
There is also the GlobalSat BT338 (http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/bt338.php) or BT339 (http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Bluetooth-BT339-Receiver-SiRFstarIII/dp/B000EIHWJ0)
Better prices can be found for all of these devices with a simple Google search.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
