 Pleasantly surprised! September 27, 2008
I set this up with my blackberry in less than a minute in my living room, cloudy and raining outside. It gave me my location straight away within 20mts. Out of 4 other recievers I own from TTGo to Garmin this is by far the best, especially for the price. Size of a matchbox and same charger as phone. great little unit.
Seems an excellent little unit May 27, 2008
An amazingly tiny unit not much more than a standard matchbox which even include a Li-ion battery identical to one in my Nokia phone.
As mentioned the 'manual' is near hopeless...simply a fold-out piece of paper of about 8 sides each about matchbox size(http://res.bluenext.co.uk/download/bn906.pdf), however...
The unit comes with a 12v and 240v power supply and connected to my laptop (Win XP SP2) and Toshiba Bluetooth stack without any problem. Windows did put it on COM41 which nothing would recognise, but some fiddling in Windows moved it to COM7 and it now works nicely with both Autoroute and a PC-based electronic chart plotter.
Contrary to what the 'manual' says, the Bluetooth light flashes when it's communicating and is on solid when the unit is simply powered up but not 'speaking to' any software.
The green signal LED winks periodically although initially I found it didn't want to work and needed encouragement to search the sky by being left with a clear view, e.g. near a window or outside.
But now it seems fine not needing any encouragement and happily works indoors. A tiny and very convenient little unit...so far at least!
 Useless manual, and very hard to figure out the device status March 13, 2008

The manual that comes with the device is abysmally bad: it does not even specify how to switch the device on and off! After emailing BlueNEXT and fiddling with the GPS for a few days, we figured out that one has to keep the button pressed "more than 4 seconds" to switch the device on. If you press less than that, the blue led comes on, the red too, then red blinks ... - very confusing. Then it would not get any signal unless outdoors (not even by the window). Lost satellite connection a few times while on the motorway, where there are no obstacles. And if the combination GPS+PDA does not work, then it's very hard to figure out where exactly the trouble is.
