I've been very impressed by the GPS performance of both my Nokia N96 and the Openmoko FreeRunner [1], and would certainly recommend that people think GPS if they're getting a new phone. Battery life suffers on both, of course, so you're not going to be logging as much as you can with a dedicated unit. Having said that, I've got a full day's logging out of both without any issue.
