Let's face it - navigation on the n900 sucks.

But I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn't enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge. I've wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that google navigation might finally make a phone useful.
If you look at the Engadget poll about 1/2 down is a vote for GPS device.

Motorola Droid (Google Maps Navigation for Android) 14960 (46.5%)
Navigon iPhone app 3505 (10.9%)
Palm Pre Sprint Navigation 5272 (16.4%)
Nuvi 1690 2523 (7.8%)
Magellan Roadmate 1475t 736 (2.3%)
TomTom Car Kit for iPhone 2627 (8.2%)
TomTom GO 740 XL Live 2553 (7.9%)
I think Linus made the right decision.

When (If?) the n900 get's decent navigation Linus may look at it again (his Dad has got an n900).
