Default E6B for iPhone? (long reply)

There's nothing the N series does that isn't already available here in a
single device. I find it amusing that after all these years of trying
to get the largest screen possible for video we are now trying to get it
on the smallest. I've used various GPS programs on three different
devices with Mapopolis being the best of the three. I have no use for
this type of program, although it is cool. If I find myself in a big
city in need of directions I'd rather have my 496 along with me. Bigger
is much better in mapping programs. The battery life will be similar to
what the average smartphone here gets, there's no magic there.

The iPhone is GSM, just like European phones. I might point out that
additional "features" come at the cost of size, weight, and shorter
battery life. This is why the iPhone does not have 3G, for example. If
you want more features, you need a bigger battery, which makes the
phone thicker and heavier.



hmm, I use a 3G phone and most of my calls are 3G calls. My phone is not
heavy and has a long enough battery life. OK, if I watch 1 hour TV the
battery life goes down.
And: check out the Nokia N-series regarding size and features (they also
come with a GPS built in).
