Motorola will be rolling out a some new model of smartphones from AT&T in the future. First, we got the Android-powered Heron which is equipped with quad-band GSM, dual-band HSDPA/HSUPA, a 2.6″ QVGA display, a 3-megapixel fixed focus camera with auto-flash and GPS navigation functionality. In certain places the Heron is also known as the Ironman. The Motorola Sawgrassfeatures a quad-band GSM, dual-band HSDPA, a 2-megapixel camera, A2DP Bluetooth connectivity, GPS navigation, a microSDHC memory card slot and a full HTML browser.

I chose this model because another reviewer wrote that the loudspeaker is larger on these non-Bluetooth models.
ANY of these Garmins beats any of the GPSs that come from the car manufacturer (OEM). I just saw the one that comes with the new Cadillac and it was horrible. (I bet it cost more than this Nuvi, too.) The brand-new Cadillac driver asked if I knew where there was a McDonald’s, so I found “points of interest” on his GPS, but then I had to *spell* “McDonald’s” and up came McDonald’s furniture store, etc. –no restaurant. On the Garmin I just hit points-of-interest and then “food,” and it lists restaurants that I never knew existed, nearest on top. The OEM unit didn’t have categories. On this I can specify Mexican or Italian food, etc.
This unit can be easily replaced when it becomes outmoded. (I’ll just come back here and buy another one.) I like being able to take it in the house where I can look up addresses on the computer and program them into the GPS. I like the way it looks on my dash. And it’s SAFER TO USE because I’m LOOKING OUT THE WINDSHIELD, rather than down at the dashboard, when I use it!
The foreign languages work great; there are more languages available for the text than the speech. For example, it will display in Thai but not speak Thai.
