I use the Nokia headset and wouldn't bother with a car kit if you use the headset, just charge it at night and bung it in the glovebox or charge it from the lighter

i use a "bluetooth gps" receiver (thats the brand name) bought off ebay, but beware when using tom tom on the n70, if you enbale your poi's, your phone will usually kick the bluetooth connection out, and the only way to reastablish the connection is to turn the phone off, so that it can reboot!!

with the poi's disabled it works fine
