$81.00Can

Mini-notebook
__Pros__
Real keyboard (Type in address. No pecking on a touchscreen.)
Bigger 8.9" display (Easier to see a bigger map.)
8Gb Solid State Drive (Speed bumps don't hurt the drive.)
Able to do computer stuff. (Watch porn while stuck in traffic.)
__Cons__
Slides off dash board when turning fast. :P

My BlackBerry 8900 came with GPS. Works fine, $200 with a cell contract
(T-Mobile, 4 free phones).
Cheers,

I'm afraid I'm not going to like a small display.. I like the idea of
seeing a big map so I can plan out a route depending on my own traffic
statistics.
