Although the phones are very mobile, I personally would rather have a device like a TomTom One in my car, than a phone with gps software. They are just easier to use and more accurate. I just can’t think of a situation where having a phone gps would be more practical than having a TomTom. </p> I can see the GPS market growing drastically, but I have trouble seeing navigation phones making up a large part of that growth.

The reality is, however, that as time goes on, the phone version gets better and better and almost always beats the stand-alone device. You only have to look at what has happened to camera technology on phones to see this effect at work.

The main problem with the N95’s GPS is that it is a huge drain on the battery (I speak from bitter experience).
