Which BT GPS?? Confused by reviews

Im looking to purchase a Bluetooth GPS unit but on reading the BT GPS reviews, it has left me confused.....

They are a few units which are rated at 97% upwards.....

Reading the fortuna clip on review, it states in the review that its better then the Emtac and the holux gr-230, yet the fortuna doest even feature in the 2003 awards section, does this mean its no good? From its review it seemed the fortuna BT GPS had all the latest gizmos and coverage and comes in at a reasonable price, so is it good or is the holux or the tomtom gps better?

It might help if the units werent awarded so high a rating...doesn't really leave much scope for rating better units higher ratings. Also a date of review would be handy as well on the reviews.

I have checked the comparison database but all the newish BT GPS units have pretty much the same features.

In the Fortuna clip on review it states

"Make no mistakes, Fortuna have created a good product here and it's one to lead the market with. The first Bluetooth GPS Receiver we saw to do this was Emtac, The GlobalSat overtook this in battery performance alone, the Holux GR-230 then overtook this both in battery power and performance and now the Fortuna has taken the full monty."

Going by the reviewers words, can anyone explain why the fortuna clip on was not in the honours list? Or is their a reason as to why I should not go for it?
advice welcome.
