@ethan

The Instinct's GPS comes with the phone's plan for $69/mo. Try visiting Sprint's website next time...

The iPhone G3 ships with Google Maps. Google Maps is pretty much useless compared to TomTom or Garmin when it comes to GPS. It is just not practical. If I tried to pay attention to the Google Maps “directions” which are on screen and do not follow you as you go and have manual push button page turns, I would wreck my car. Between the lack of a practical GPS navigation system and the lack of flash I am extremely disappointed with my iPhone. I should have waited for the Instinct to come out.

Actually, Sprint Navigation is included with all the Simply Everything plans you have to get with the Instinct.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: GPS is absolutely essential for me — I get lost easily and my sense of direction is slowly but surely dying.

The only real concern is… when will the iphone be available on the Verizon network?

GPS is one of the BIG things I was holding out for. I’ve stuck with my VZW Treo 700p for the past year waiting for 3G and GPS and finally on Friday I’ll get my iPhone fix!

I think what everybody keeps missing is that we don’t have to wait for apple or att to provide the features that are missing on the iPhone. U want turn by turn directions? TomTom is already writing a version of their software for the iPhone. U want video capture? Hackers have already developed a video camera and can just as easily do it with the sdk. Mms, it can be done. Voice dial? It can be written.
