I fully recommend this as a business tool and hope that Apple will improve
I have not owned an apple product to date. Have used top or the range Nokia N97 and Blackberry Torch and have been quite happy with them. This phone is very easy to use, love the responsive touch screen, the glass seems very resistant to scratch. Apps are great and all is very user friendly. Call sound quality is good as is signal reception. Battery lasts me the full day with lots of use regardless of others bad experiences I have about 40% power left right now at 9pm after a good days using of facebook, email, browsing and Siri. When she works. That would be at the mo my only complaint is that Siri the assistant seems to have taken unauthorized leave. The assistant is very eratic and many times cannot connect to the network. I understand this is a Beta version and as such not yet complete, and I can live with that...for now. But you do become reliant and when you need it you need it. So if it works 80% it would be acceptable, but I am getting about 35% successful response from Siri. When she works it is it great. She seems to understand most of what I say even though I have a sort of South African accent and not American or Uk. She is witty, sarcastic and helpful. I like that she is not just a robot and seems to think for herself and not just give the same old robotic answers. She is quite addictive and fun. Music and sound quality is fantastic as is the photo and video quality. Back to Siri, it would be great if she would vocally do the reminding of appointments and reminders. Perhaps this may come in the future. The phone hooks up easily to wifi where ever you go and will prefer wifi to data over isp so you do not get wacked with big data usage. Overall good phone. I ordered a Life Proof cover which will protect it a bit better and also ensure waterproofing. I fully recommend this as a business tool and hope that Apple will improve and enhance their server capacity so that we can make full use of the Siri side of things.

Garmin Nuvi 760
Review: I bought a Nuvi 760 a couple of weeks ago and can truly say it is one incredible piece of equipment. The complicated part is software and maps which you definitely need a laptop and internet connection to get right. But that said, it is one of the most useful tools I have ever bought. I have it setup on a friction pad which works well on the rough gravel roads I travel and even on bad corrugation. The display is clear and large enough and simple. Operation is also very easy. I like the bluetooth and wireless feature, which means that as soon as I switch on the car, my phone (N80) automatically pairs with the Nuvi. The Nuvi then rebroadcasts to my car radio and I have perfectly clear reception and transmision when making handsfree calls. I have installed an 8gb SD card and have added a good collection of music. The music of course is sent throught to my car speakers via the radio link and the quality is great. Even when using the Nuvi on its own I found the speaker quality load and clear, but a bit strained for listening to music. With a Nuvi you can arrive in a town, press POI (Points of Interest) select food, fast food and you will instantly have all the fast food joints in the near area. Sometimes there are phone numbers and you can just click the phone icon and call the restaurant direct. Same applies for a heap of other things like hospitals, police, accomodation or repair shops. Would I recommend a Nuvi760, devinitely.

Garmin Nuvi 885T GPS
I have just upgraded from my old Nuvi 760 which I was very happy with to the 885T. So far I am very happy with the product. The 885T is very similar to the 760 and has pretty much the same features. I am still getting used to the voice activation and commands. Not too impressed so far. I have to shout the command a few times for it to accept. This may be because of language selection or accent as I have selected British and probably do not pronounce the commands correctly? The sound is very good and the display is fine even in daylight when walking around. Bluetooth works very smoothly and hooks up to my phone as soon as I get near the car. I like the changeable battery as my 760 had a built in battery and this could be a problem when it packs up. I have not been able to use the lane assist function as yet because I am in a rural area. Also have not seen the lane assist display yet which I am sure will be very useful when driving on a freeway with lots of traffic. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a GPS with everything on board.
