I've got the cheap little Samsung Eternity but I've figured out online how to enable the GPS. I don't run the bluetooth into my helmet because with all the windnoise nobody would be able to hear me anyhow, besides I'm supposed to be paying attention. I will occasionally run earbuds into my helmet for MP3s on longer rides though. With it in the tank bag watching the GPS I can see when someone tries to call me though and pull over to answer.
