Hi All,

Another questions from two non-geeks...

I need a new phone (still!) and wouldnt mind one with a GPS function to save me also buying a GPS unit.  I'd use it for geocaching rather than needing a map function.

We've looked briefly at the LG KS500 as it seems to be the cheapest model out with GPS.  BUt can we use the GPS without hooking up to the internet?  Can we use it to type in some co-ordinates and have it tell us which direction to walk and how far?  I know this phone doesnt have Wi-Fi and so I'd have to sign up to some internet package.

Is there another phone, not too expensive, that would be a good GPS for amateur geocachers?  If I can avoid spending a couple of hundred dollars on a phone and another couple of hundred on a basic GPS unit, then great.

As for other functions, not really fussed as long as I can call and text.  And get woken up when I set the alarm!

Thanks heaps, Karen

PS - cross posted in the mobile handset forum, sorry.
