GPS/Sat nav phone???

[Buckshot]

I'm sure some of you more techy/ 'gadgets and gizmo' type people will know the answer to this one...
It seems to me that a couple of the most important/ useful safety gizmos around are a mobile phone and a GPS - certainly in the UK anyway, perhaps less use in the desert.

Are there any 'smart phones' out there that encompass not only a GPS but also a sat nav system that can be programmed like a normal Tomtom etc?
It strikes me as an obvious answer to the business man to have these things in the one package - let alone us bushcrafters!

I know a couple of people do watches with GPS's built in. I was thinking the large(er) screen of a phone would allow a much better view for the sat nav though. I'm sure the internals of both would fit into an average sized phone case so size shouldn't be an issue.

Any ideas or have I just stumbled on my goldmine ???

Cheers

Mark

Got one
Discontinued in this country though. Great thing is, it looks like a brick phone, so everyone assumes that it is an old heap of junk. One useful thing, is in an emergency you can SMS your grid referance to another phone...

Nokia 5140/5140i has an add on GPS cover, but not seen it any shops to check how good it is, only seen it on ebay. I have the phone, with built in compass and torch, but haven't got the GPS bit.
My brother uses a nokia 6600 with a blue tooth sat nav receiver about half the size of the phone in his van and that has tom tom. There are various smart phones that you can link the sat receiver to via blue tooth I beleive.
