I have a Dell Axim X5 and am going Bluetooth. Decided the Fortuna Clip-on Bluetooth GPR receiver was the way to go. Then noted the "newer?" Belkin F8T051 Bluetooth GPS appears in photos to be exactly the same configuration, down to appearance of buttons, switches, sockets, case angles, dents and even the little image icoms over the LEDs. Both use a removable lithium battery. The Belkin comes with routing software for about the same price as the Foutuna, which has a clear plactic case but no software. Can anyone definatively state they have exactly the same interior/specs. They are both dual mode. I think the Fortuna claims accuracy better than 3 meter to Belkin's 10 meter, but I could be misled by the better info available for the Fortuna. Are there any techs out there familiar with both of these products. I don't seem to ever find them for sale at the same retail website.
