Wifey was after a new phone that ran Word,Excel so I looked into it to make sure to get a GPS unit that I can steal away on weekends.
Bought the HTC Touch Cruise, it's got all the usual stuff: 3G, internet, Windows/Office, Wifi, Bluetooth, 3MP camera & has onboard GPS.
Pair it with BT mcycle headphones and you have turn-by-turn instructions while you're riding, listen to mp3 or take calls.
Finally I tip ordering from Clove technology UK, save couple hundred off Oz prices even with the shipping, 2 yr warranty (but have to send back) and importantly the UK ver comes with TomTom Navigator6 GPS software which I reckon is better than Copilot (you gotta get Oz maps though).
A true GPS unit is far superior to phones that don't have GPS but still use maps (these might be all the Googlemap phones?) the reason being that once out of the mobile network range...no more maps/gps - pretty useless for any decent ride away from the Zzzz-ways.
