Besides the Motorola q9c is there any other Sprint phones that sprint currently offers that comes with an activated gps card so that you can use google maps out of the box without paying an extra fee? Thanks.

I know I saw some of the specs and it said aGPS. I know what that is, thats when they use the towers to triangulate your position or whatever instead of satellites. Would that be free out of the box though? And is aGPS not as good as regular as regular GPS?

Honestly someone else is going to have to answer that question, all I know is my Mogul has some type of GPS that works (pretty nice if you ask me) and my Centro needs a receiver, which I'm not buying. Can someone else gives us a hand here please.....

Personally the best bang for your buck looking for PDA and navigation is Pearl or Curve. Thats granted you dont mind the BB plan.

Are there any Sprint phones (other than full PDAs) that are good about quickly resuming the navigation if it's interrupted by a phone call?
I tried a Q9c with Sprint Navigation and phone calls really upset it and cause you to have to sometimes start over and re-enter the destination to continue on with your route.

I second this. If you can swing the extra 30 bux which in some cases if you are nice to the sprint reps they'll off set the cost by giving you some kind of discount. Good luck.

An extra $30 per month is $360 ever year. That could pay for a new and pretty nice pocketable GPS such as a Garmin 760 every year. At that extra monthly cost, it's no longer worth it for the convenience of having the gps combined in the phone especially when the functionality isn't that good (slower satellite locks and losing your route during phone calls.).
