OK I know little about PDA's and even less about the phone ones.

But I bought a Sierra phone with a PDA running MS 2003 phone, it does not have bluetooth but has a USB connection and IR. I would like to turn the phone into a GPS.

Is their anyway

How about connecting to broadband?

Since it doesnt have bluetooth you would probably have to go for a wired set up. I never heard of that type of unit so it might be a bit difficult to get cradles or cables for it.

No. Bluetooth receivers don't normally have data ports as it's all done by BT.

If you have an SDIO port though, you could get a comined BT and SD card. But the one's I've seen aren't cheap.

Ive never seen a PDA that would have a full usb socket on it.
