I have one in my phone too but the charge always seems to cr*p out at the wrong time! Good thing I didn't rely on it because I forgot my car charger and I would have been halfway to Tampa with NO idea how to get there and not even able to call anyone! :o

I don't know that I will get much use out of it around home, but it might come in handy on roadtrips. :D

I hope you realize that Key Bank put in the fine print that they will be sending you a 1099 for that Gps. Its not free, you have to pay taxes on it.


ps. If anyone is looking for a cheap entry level unit. Target has the Magellan 1400 on clearance for 50 dollars and as low as 25 depending on the store. The thing is you might have to check alot of targets in your area to find one thats not sold out since you can no longer search the target online store inventory anymore. If you find one, call magellan and you can get the 2008/2009 update for free.
