I have not had all that much time to play with it, but so far it is 
really cool.  While it isn't a full blown talking turn here GPS, it 
pretty much does the same thing.  Used it Saturday after missing an exit 
in PA - showed how to get to the place faster using back roads than 
going back to the freeway.

To use something like this just as a phone - not really good.  Being 
able to access all sorts of things (email, web, maps, etc...) makes it 
something worth thinking about - if you are going to use such things.

And of course, there are lots of fun apps that you can get as well.
