Battery isn't really that long, and while it has 'GPS integrated' at the moment it can only be used for Google Maps/turn by turn directions (without audio, where you have to manually go to the next point etc..). Price is expensive, unsubsidised something like $700-1000 depending on model?

But, I love my iPhone.

Battery on the iPhone is pretty good after 2.2 I'm getting 30 hours+ on standby.
Well I'd hope so since the advertised standby time is 300 hours, lol.

i was actually interested in this phone.
what's wrong with the GPS? is it okay for use when walking around the city and is nokia's GPS service free?
The GPS lags like a bitch and freezes alot. However, the battery life kicks ass. I mean you don't really need a GPS. Just use maps

Nokia N82 has everything you are looking for and I think it retails for $500
