200$ with contract?
you can get HD2 with huge 4.3 WVGA 800x480 screen for 99buk on amazon on contract!
i know HD2 with capacitive screen really sucks, but the huge 4.3 is so comfortable for the eyes.

Garmin is behind other smart phones and doesn't bring anything to offer that will drive consumers to their product. Also, we've known for sometime that smartphones can be used as GPS devices, so that's another strike agaist Garmin for entering the cell wars-what a rookie mistake-another casuality next to the Nexus one.

While I agree that the price is about $100 too much, have either of you even used the device? Its actually quite nice, if a bit different from other Android phones. Slap on FreshFace or another home replacement app, and voila! You have a nice Android phone with a large screen and excellent GPS capabilities. You are right that other smartphones have GPS abilities, but they pale in comparison to the Garmin's.

I hope you're right. That P.O.S. is the worst thing to come along in ages... glad to see the sales stopping, but I still have to repair all the units that are still out there...

Comfortable to the eyes, but breaks on you...

That's not a tough decision.
