I have a Moto Backflip. AT&T Nav is installed and that does turn-by-turn, but I don't use it. I had both on my Blackberry. What I like about the Android is that I now am able to access all my data both on Linux, Windows and the Android. Compared to the BB, web browsing is faster (3G vs EDGE) and the pages are easier to view. I went from separate phone and Palm to Treo to Backberry to Backflip. The main issue I had with Blackberry is the lack of synchronization of data on Linux. The downside of the Android is that a lot of apps do not store data locally. The next step is to have everything embedded in a wristwatch.
