    everybody seems to like the N95 so maybe go with that one. i only hate it because it doesn't have a full keyboard. the other decent GPS phones would be the E90 and possibly the 6110 though not the 6110 from '97 cause that one doesn't have gps

    there's always the endless amount of noname brand OEM windows mobile ones usually made by HTC if you're into that kind of thing

    you have to pay them money to turn on the voice prompts. that is all

    if you are worried about the battery just buy one of those silly bluetooth GPS thingies and a decent nokia e-series or n-series phone. GPS usually does eat up a good bit of battery.

    Been using the N95 for bout six months now, Class Phone IMO, regarding GPS the N95 has it's own built in GPS receiver, you will have to download Maps ect to use this function, unsure how much as I have never used it !!
    I have loaded up the latest Version of Tomtom on my N95, works ace only downside is that you will have to buy an external GPS receiver bout £20 quid off e-bay ( the N 95's built in GPS receiver will not work with Tomtom)

    probably not. unless somebody hacks it and writes an app for it. and then for every firmware update from apple it won't work anymore so you will be stuck using old firmware

    the iPhone is a very, very closed off and restricted device.

    "the iPhone is a very, very closed off and restricted device"
    and thats the reason why i never got a ipod inano etc... and now the iphone.

    "there's always the endless amount of noname brand OEM windows mobile ones usually made by HTC if you're into that kind of thing"

    how good is the windows mobile,,, the idea of having windows on a mobile scares the Sh1t out of me.
