Garmin Mobile XT

Has anyone got any experience with Garmin Mobile XT ?

I understand it can be run with mobile phones - so you have bluetooth and GPS with say - Scala Q2 possibilities - has anyone got this running successfully ?

If so I'd like to know more.
Thanks
H

I've got it running on a Nokia 6220c and unlike the TomTom equivalent, it will work with internal GPS.

The battery life isn't great with GPS switched on so I would imagine it would be even less if also running bluetooth. I just use the headset that came with the phone.

BTW, I prefer TomTom Navigator which I've used on a N73 but with bluetooth GPS. Either the Garmin or TomTom is better than Nokia Maps and both can be found on the internet to evaluate before buying.
