Bought a new Motorola A3100 this month and it's fun, and look at the potentials! 
One thing I'd like to do is access the built-in GPS hardware in something other than the preloaded Google Maps. From what I read online and from poking around the registry in my phone I know that it has a GPS hardware that speaks NMEA 0183 (I have seen a log file on my device with the same NMEA stuff my standalone Garmin eTrex provides), has a GPS intermediate driver that all apps needing GPS access should go through, the hardware is in GPD1:, and GPSID provides COM1: for others to use. But when I tried to open COM1: with PuTTY it never succeeds.
My immediate goal is to get GPS2Blue to work - right now it hangs and needs a soft reset to kill it. Longer term goal is to load a second map/nav program which can store entire maps on device instead of going data all the time as I only have 500MB/month.
