You'll find most people here would prefer a phone that will still have plenty of battery life left after they reach their destination.
I just saw this new Ad over at 9to5mac.com and I thought I would share.

I like 9to5mac.com's question, Is This Too Little, To Late?
Its obvious that this is in response to Verizon's Ad "Yes, I can hear you now." But to me it seems kind of lame, and yes, Verizon's Ad was so much better.
I suppose it's already been pointed out, but the guy in the commercial wouldn't have forgotten his anniversary if his alarm worked!

As an Australian I don't give a toss...
Oh any ANY provider over here supports that feature. *The world sleeps while the USA battles this AT&T vs Verizon thing*
Seriously... who cares? It's absolute rubbish that the USA lets Apple allow only 2 carriers to carry its phone, and bicker over which one is less artificially dumbed down. I thought it was supposed to be the "free" country?
They are just carriers FFS... buy an international, unlocked phone if you want EVERYTHING... think Vodafone, Virgin, Optus... they are huuuge everywhere else and less restrictive.

Nizmoz, my point was regarding the limitations of CDMA and how well-written apps can get around those limitations. For example, on an iPhone (on any network you like) why not use Navigon? It stores the maps on the iPhone itself, thus obviating the need for a data connection.
guess youve never been on hold and needed to look something up? or wanted to forward a document as youre talking about it? or wanted to look up your account info/status/balance/whatever from an app while on the phone? or wanted to get movie times while talking to your gf? or any of a million other reasons....
get real. yeah at&t sucks, but stop apologizing for Verizon's shortcomings.
HI
I've seen this question asked before and haven't remembered to test it with no data access. Yes, many apps do store the map data locally, so that isn't a problem. However, the iPhone, and most other cell phones, use A-GPS. That would make the question; can an A-GPS phone, like the iPhone, perform GPS calculations on its own as well as doing it with assistance? It may actually require the cellular network for processing the raw GPS data.
Every A-GPS device I've used has been able to act as a standalone GPS. For example, my Incredible was rather able to continue to show my location during a Google Navigation session in the mountains of Virginia where I had (somewhat to my surprise) zero signal at all from the cellular network. My pre-cached maps worked fine, and my location came in just fine from the gps.
Alas...The good old days when the only heated debate was trying to predict what the next Apple release would be, when it would be announced, and whether Jobs would make the announcement.
