French site mobinaute has an extensive bluetooth GPS receiver comparison article including Royaltek X-Mini-Xtreme RBT-2010, GNS 5843, GlobalSat (G-Sat) BT-359, Holux GPSlim 236, and TomTom SiRFStar III (this one for size comparison only). Of course it is all in French. But we were nice enough to translate the most important parts for you:

Which receiver GPS Bluetooth SiRFStar III to choose?

Marketed in various shops for a price close to the 90 E€uros including all taxes, except for GPS GNS 5843 receiver which is marketed for more than 200 €Euros including all taxes (function TMC obliges), these receivers GPS Bluetooth is all of good quality but is addressed to the public different ones.

For more technophiles which seeks before a whole the most powerful receiver GPS which is, Royaltek RBT-2010 will undoubtedly be most general-purpose combining sensitive chip GPS and endurance record 17 hour battery. For the remainder, the GNS 5843 also leaves the batch because of use of an adapter TMC out of standard, and this in spite of its relatively imposing dimensions.
