AND let's not forget that the CF is cheaper. (I think)
JakeRich's comment
Is not so valid in my case.

All that being said I am open to suggestions.
A CF Receiver is still a separate piece, at least for me it was. I have a case and it wouldn't close/open with the receiver installed, plus the PDA was bigger and awkward with the receiver installed because the weight shifted. CF is cheaper, but not necessarily smaller or easier to use.

BT, on the other hand, just slips into my pocket and I don't have to worry about it. IN fact, I've occasionally put the receiver in one pocket, the Ax in the case and hung it on my belt in the belt clip that came with the case and walked around like that. People get the most curious looks on their faces when the PDA announces that you want to turn left in 50 feet! I suppose I could use an earphone to listen to tunes while I do that, but it's fun to see the reactions when this black case hanging on your belt suddenly shouts out directions.:approve:
