Another vote here for Fortuna. I've been using a 'clip on' bluetooth reciever daily for around 18 months now and it's never missed a beat. Not sure what price you can get them for now though.

I've got my GPS receiver now but having problems already
I've got a T-mobile MDA (i-mate) with tomtom 5 installed. I've bought a Holux GPSslim236 to get connected to GPS but I can't get any GPS status using the tomtom5 setup or even the rubbish software you get with the 236 (gps viewer). So I don't know which deivce isn't working? I can pickup my 236 through the standard bluetooth search on my MDA but that's it..
Can any1 help please....
