Quickly pair your Bluetooth GPS with your Nokia E63.

In other words, can I use a GPS mapping software with a smart phone that does not have internal GPS if I use a bluetooth GPS receiver?

Hi there....check out this link...it references the internal GPS in the T-Mobile Dash. It may help you. Good luck.

i believe so

It may not matter that I own a Palm 680 device since the receiver should work with either windows or palm. I live just outside the city and spend a third of my time driving in the city. I'm looking for some performance testing to backup an answer.

here's a link to ebays guide on bluetooth gps receivers

Or for that matter, a GPS receiver? Please be precise. I would like to use one with my Sony Ericsson K800i for sat nav, but I'm not sure if this is what I want.

I guess your phone has the software for GPS navigation. What it lacks is the hardware, or GPS receiver, to make it work. The GPS receiver detects signals from GPS satellites and transfers the information to the handset via Bluetooth, magically turning your phone into a SatNav system. I have a Nokia phone and bought a GPS receiver module for it just the other day and it seems to be working fine so far.
