The spoken prompts are really convenient for actual navigation while driving, of course. If Google Maps implements spoken turn directions on the BlackBerry, for free, then I'll likely ditch the TeleNav service. Ben:

Regarding the GPS services. I don't have TeleNav, but I use Google Maps which finds exactly where I am straight away and then I can use the free services there. I agree with the IMAP challenges.

I have all the necessary drivers installed for my D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB dongle. Doing something similar under Linux may be a little more involved--I haven't tried, yet. In theory, the Bluetooth "headset" profile is a standard, so if you can get any headset paired under Linux, the Jawbone should be no different. No drivers specifically for the Jawbone, no.

(Yes, I've checked the site and they say that pairing their headset with PC's is not supported, so I bet that there are no drivers required.... I'm just making sure! :-) ) PS: Thanks a zillion for the information! Sweet! No drivers were required?
