popularmechanics.com — 3G? Video? That's old news. Rival companies tell PM's senior tech editor they're shaking in their boots over the prospect of Steve Jobs enabling iPhone 2.0 with GPS, and a stripped-down cellphone might even outsell the original. A modest proposal for June's WWDC keynote.

well, actually, it is on par for being as worthless as 75% of all verizon phones crippled bluetooth. I don't know how many times i have had to hack a firmware for a friend on a verizon phone just to send photos and songs through bluetooth.

@cthellisActually, Garmin and TomTom do charge for updates. The cost of the initial maps is built into the cost you pay for the unit. Yearly map upgrades cost you more money on top of that.Look at the upcoming Garmin Nuvifone, rumored to be on AT&T with a monthly navigation fee

Just another phone? Is that why it's being copied by every other manufacturer now?

That's why HTC skinned it with their Cube launcher. It's really great, and runs very smoothly, you'd never know WM was under there.
