Re: Nokia 5230 with sat nav
Mine didn't come with a USB cable, but they're not expensive. Compared with the hassle of getting the tiny card out of the phone, it's worth the cost.

The easiest and cheapest way to install maps and voice files is with Ovi Suite on your PC.

Compared with a dedicated GPS receiver the built-in one seems less sensitive, i.e. it can take quite some time to lock on the the satellites (or, if you're not tight like me, you could use the A-GPS which downloads data from the internet) and tends to lose lock more often. But that's made up for by the convenience.
