Don't know about the cheapest, but the holux models are reasonable ($60-80) on ebay from reputable sellers. I bought a 236, and it works great. Search on this forum for the list of known working bluetooth GPSs. I guess I'm always a little leery of the "cheapest", and would rather pay $10-15 more for one that I know will work and is decent quality.

I bought a unbranded unitraq BT-5321R bluetooth GPS receiver from geeks.com for $32 USD. I have to mess with it a bit to get it to work with maemomapper, but once it gets a gps fix, it works fine. it's really small and has decent battery life, so I can live with it.

this one is tha bomb-
http://www.buygpsnow.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=656
1 battery, 10 hours of life (energizer...)
excellent pair for the nokia and it is TINY.
I use it all the time.
It runs on 1 AA battery
and comes with a cigarette lighter plug~usb power converter
(the power cord to the GPS is USB, but you can power it with an AA and utilize the lighter USB to power the N800's usb host mode WHEN the kernel arrives...
plus, it has bat-wings on it
and the free included vent-mount can hold your cell-phone OR your Nokia pretty darn well.

I picked up a Holux GPSlim 240--(same as the rebadged Navicore gumstick size)--works great with Maemo Mapper and Google Maps.
(I Leave the GPS plugged into a second power outlet of my car.)
Navicore? "We don need no stinkin' Navicore!"

I want to pick up a second one to hardwire into the car without worrying about frying an expensive battery.
How's the sensitivity on this thing... I mean; does it have to be in view of the satellites by mounting it under a window, or can I tuck it out of the way a bit?

Thanks
