Here's a review of the N95:

And here's one of the N95 8 gig from PC World's website:

Anyone note the similarities of these reviews?

One thing though, that stood out, were the quoted costs for using the GPS
side of things including hefty annual licence fees.

You can almost buy a standalone unit for what this would cost you to use.
Maybe Rod really is rolling in it if he can afford to run it like this.

Pretty expensive alternative to taking the GPS out of the car and putting
it in your pocket when you leave it, however...

The review doesnt even say anything like that.

Thats a pig ignorant lie.

And I prefer the convenience of everything in the one device when I am not in the car.

And its only the turn by turn navigation that has any license fee involved,
and I only use that in the car, so dont need to pay for it when out of the car.

Or maybe you have got it wrong in the cost of using the GPS in that.
