This is perfect for the market of people that prefer real navigation in their car, unfortunately, they priced it too high. When an iPhone is $99 and a TomTom is $99...this is at least $100 overpriced, not to mention the pricey accessories. I like the phone, and I've been waiting years for it, but it's way too expensive to consider forfeiting my iPhone for it. Plus the AT&T logo at the bottom is ass-ugly.
I'm confused by what you mean with "real navigation"...I have a pre (can't speak for other phones) but it's absolutely on par with anything my $750 high-end garmin does...and in many ways is better.
Sprint navigation is as real as it gets. And if you really want a mount for it, just get a Palm Pre Touchstone.
i like that the pre does that, but what I meant is the gps software, from what I know of it, the device is just like a stand-alone Garmin GPS, in terms of software.
HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th.
