I might just get one to try out and pass it around to my other co workers and see what they have to say. Can anyone comment on the GPS feature?

I am in Anchorage on business this week. I've used the 8800's GPS plus Blackberry Maps to orient myself. The BB Maps program will track your movement when you turn the GPS on. I've never had trouble getting a signal and maintaining it. The accuracy is not as great as what you get in a standalone nav system -- but in a pinch it works -- and beats the heck out of hauling my Magellan system around taking up suitcase space.
