Great review overall, but I don't agree with your overall rating (lower than the non-GPS?) or the broad recommendation (depends on wants/needs). I can leave my phone at home and still catch an important call or text. I can leave the kiddos home, jog around the block without my phone, and they can reach me. This convenience does come with an extra cost, but that’s the reality of the situation in the wireless world. I think you have to adjust your expectation for this unique category. Certainly you can’t view it as a phone replacement ( how would that even be possible on the screen of this size?). I did have terrible activation issues with AT&T, but I think that is because I have a business account. That part was not cool. Thankfully that's in the past.
