I just received my unit today and had it up and running within minutes. Works great! Thanks so much for the great offer and speedy shipping Chris!

paul/others,

i have only tested this thing in a sitting car (long story as to why im in a sitting car) and i have only used "WLS" (credit to lucas!) and the "from gps location" or whatever it says.. so it works. but if i am not doing anything with the gps...meaning if im not getting any maps or driving (which i have not done with it yet in over a week i have had this thing)
it seems the BT connection drops on the unit and the BT light goes steady lit. is this normal?

I have been reading on this forum for the last couple of days since I became interested in the Freedom mini GPS Bluetooth receiver. I actually saw it on Ebay previously and after reading Chris's comments on how it's imppossible for that guy to have 1000 in stock I decided to contact him and ask him about his "stock". Today I noticed that his listing was removed from Ebay...

Question for those of you that have a Nokia N73: Have you been succesfully using the Freedom mini GPS Bluetooth receiver with Tom Tom 6 on the N73?

Okay, I take that back. Now my unit is completely dead. I have no indication lights at all anymore. Plugging it into a power source doesn't display any lights now. Did my unit die after just 7 hours of posession? God, I hope not...

Chris??? What should I do?

what were you doing when it stopped? did you turn it off and then once you turned it on it didnt light up? or did it just go dead while on...?

Is the battery life really 9 hrs?

I was using it all day with my Mogul just fine. Had charged it the ride home from work using the supplied cig/usb cable.

I then successfully paired it with my fiancee's Samsung Blackjack and I think it died when I fired up WLS on her device and tried to center the map based on GPS location. Ever since...it seems like it won't turn on. I know the battery isn't dead...it should have had almost a full charge at the point of pairing it with her Blackjack...

I'm bummed.

perhaps it just needed to rest? hopefully it will show signs of life today, but hopefully paul or /and chris can shed light...

I like the warning on Navigadget.com

In case anyone was wondering, I did finally get my GPS receiver.

I just keep getting the error "Sorry, could not communicate with GPS on port 8. I followed the directions to the T.
