The EVO has a 4.3" screen and I all do is put in the customer name in google and it brings up the address and click navigate, pretty sweet.
Hey Mike - how about a review on that phone? I've got about 35 days until my current phone hits the 2 year/$150 mark towards the EVO. Just wondering how it's working out for you.

I use to like my Ms. Garmin, until we had a falling out.
She's always telling me where to turn. .... like I don't know where I'm going.

Then she cops an attitude with some static, and says... r-ee-calculating.

Wifes gps took a dump so i gave her my 265W and bought the 465t with mobile mount on amazon for $310.00. All of these gizmo's have their fault's. I hit the road this wens with the 465 but did try it on I-4 in car mode the other day and like the features. Wife said the hands free bluetooth sounds crappy, but thats the only negative so far.

Eventually interested in a new phone but for now am using a samsung propel with 3G and the screen is too small to see the maps without a bunch of zooming and approving the att nag screen every time you zoom or move around in gmail. So I tethered it to my laptop for surfing and trip planning. It's as fast as my home internet cable modem and saves us the $79/monthly aircard fees.

Google maps are the best as long as there updated, and ms streets and trips/ ts 2010 are quick without getting online but satellite images are a great tool. How does everyone like the actual screen/google map size, speed and performance on an iphone or htc evo for trip planning?
