Hi simeonyu1981-
The BT is not idle when in use. I've used TomTom w/ BT receivers for many hours at a time on long trips and it never drops out. A BT receiver is better than a CF for a variety of reasons. I do not use the Widcomm stack but hear it's good for some things like BT headsets.
The BT receiver gets a better signal because you can place it away from your field of view, up front and center of the dash or under the seat if it has a good chipset. They also have optional external antenna adapters for maximum exposure and accuracy. A BT receiver will also not make your Axim larger and be something to accidentally hit or break during use.
Just my opinion, CF receivers are not bad and I've used one myself for a period. One major suggestion: get something with the Sirf Star III chipset. Huge difference in accuracy and it gets a signal when the sky is obscured, even indoors.
