Ian Jardine - check your facts before you go hating on a laptop that's not your own.

ALL Asus laptops in this current period get a FREE Express Vista upgrade:

Cool... a mouse droid from Star Wars!
Steelpad 5L Professional Gaming Mouse Pad.

I don't game but I've never used a mousepad at home.
Jay - As the manager for one of the 5 largest online vendors of GPS units, I've probably used every GPS unit in existence (that includes handhelds, fixed-mount marine, automotive units, etc...)In regards to automotive units, the NUVI is hands-down the best unit (U.S.) I've ever used. It has the correct balance of utility, ease-of-use, and map accuracy perfect for automotive use.

It also vastly outsells Tom Tom for us. Although that may only be an indication of how effective Garmin's marketing may be, the TELLING indicator is how many returns we get (because of quality control issues as well as just overall satisfaction): Tom Toms are returned every day (the returns department is littered with them); the day a NUVI is returned is rare and one of significance (I have to determine which of our employees gets the golden ticket and can purchase the return for the open-box price plus employee discount).

I still have to qualify what I've said by saying the Tom Tom is a great value for people who can't afford the NUVI as the "perfect" product is still a function of both quality and price. But if money is not an issue, the NUVI is the best unit out there.
Finally, something to replace my Zack Morris phone!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
