well, I've used GPS for years on Palm, very happy, street nav with TomTom
and Navman, GPSsing with cotoGPS, other apps, log trips, etc, etc
coto is pretty good
ofcourse, when you're comparing, try to compare with similar, ie,
T3 was released in what, 2004 ? put an Android phone from 2004 next to it
I have an Android phone, tablet, they are great, use them all the time
but I still use Palm for what's important to me
I use email on both Palm and Android, K9 is great, but, I don't think any
Android email clients do server search like Snapper does...
but Swype is pretty good
