Advice on iPhone versus Blackberry

I wouldn't trade my iPhone for anything and spent a gruelling month looking before deciding.

Tom Tom is out, costs $100, Navigon is out, costs $70 (for now, soon to be $100, I chose Co-pilot Live at $35. Ilounge.com has a review of all three of them, pretty much the same. I've been using copilot and am pleased with it, but haven't decided if I can give away my gps unit...yet. To me, since none of these has a lite or trial version, you're better off going with copilot at half to a third of the price of the others just in case you think it's not good enough. All three apps are voice based turn by turn, but none of them (currently) says the street name. All promise soon updates to resolve that

just my two cents

I just walked outside with mine and it shows the street names. I had to turn them on though.
I must have gotten the special version.
The lady also asked me to make a u-turn now.
It's all 3-d and kicks ass offa the nav unit I have now.

They all show the names, they don't speak the names:

"take the next left"

as opposed to


"turn left on Partagas street"

unless Navigon has already updated, or
you do indeed have the super secret version!

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I see.
I'll check it later and see if it says the street names.
I have to go get milk, so I'll take it for a ride and see what the chick says.
I don't know if my gps in the car says the street names, either, now that you mentioned that. I know it shows it on screen, but I think it says "turn left in 200 feet" and stuff like that.
Now I have something to do today.
