The iPhone is wonderful in many ways. I wish I could send contacts via
bluetooth as I could with a Nokia phone, and I wish it was a bit easier to
delete text messages, and I truly wish the battery life was better, but I do
love the little critter.

Subject: Re: iphone vs pac mate
personal opinion,
The pac mate and street talk are both dead animals. The only thing I like
about the pac mate now is the braille display and the ability to use it or the
pac mate itself if either is not working. The braille display is the better
part of the hardware, in my opinion.
My experience with the pac mate and street talk, is that:
1, the gps receiver provided with the package can be far too tardy in
tracking satelites, or being tracked by them, take your pick.
2, you need a blue tooth card installed in one of the cf slots, and your maps
installed in the other, which means you need to do some jiggling around and
setting up before you can get going.
3, I found that the entire setup was a hoffible drain on the pm battery. This
is true on the cel phone as well, but at least there, I can bring along a spare
battery and there is no setup.
My two cents.

I am thinking of selling my Pac Mate in favor of an iphone. My main
question
is whether I can get a comperable GPS system to a Pac Mate with StreetTalk.
