there are gps phones on nextel! (Score 1)

i just purchased the motorola i730 on the nextel network that leverages a java app called telenav or www.telenav.net it is a full blown gps program... NOT leveraging cell towers but requiring a connection with at least 4 satellites at all times to receive an accurate signal with varyiong degress of accuarcy +/- 150 ft. I am still testing it's GPS capabilities for work though it is very similar to the garmin units found in a hertz rental car. it does virtually everything the big garmin units do for 25% of the price. i can establish way points, call in new locations and they appear on my phone, turn by turn instructions, i can download non-gps directions to my destination, it speaks the turns including the road ways, i can locate local or distant hotels, restaurants, info centers, etc. it is pretty impressive as a gps unit an is by far the most solid performing cell phone i have ever had. check it out... it rocks. if you want more info just let me know.
