Motorola Q
Q, hands-free, and GPS navigation
Anyone out there need GPS navigation too? I also want a bluetooth speakerphone car kit, such as the Motorola 1000. What do you think is the best way to go? A couple of options I'm considering...
My wife has a Razr and we've used VZ Navigation a couple of times. I don't know if this is available on the Q.
PROS: Works nearly as well as a factory unit, or at least good enough for us. Easy to use in any car, or walking.
CONS: It's either $2.99 for a day, or $9.99 per month. Plus, you have to pay airtime charges. This can suck up minutes faster than a Hoover.
Buy a smartphone, such as the Q or Treo 700P, and add 3rd party navigation, such as Garmin's upcoming Mobil 20.
PROS: Garmin unit also includes handsfree calling! Wireles...

I bought the Garmin 2620 a little over a year ago. It sits on top of the dash with a beanbag type mount. No suction cups or screws. Works very well and doesn't slide around. Makes it easy to take is down and hide when you park. Oh yeah, the navigation is great with map/software updates approx. twice a year.
