I have the Optimus V on virgin mobile. As an Android phone, I think it works great. We used it last night for the first time geocaching....once we got under some foliage, it wasn't as accurate as our Garmin Vista HCx, but using c:geo and google maps was pretty nice. I had heard negative things about the intercept (at least while running android 2.1), so I waited until the Optimus came out and have been really happy. On a funny note, I was out with a coworker one night...she had the optimus s on sprint....so basically the same phone, and same network....my phone had better reception and loaded maps, etc faster. funny.
Am going again this afternoon and we'll see how the Optimus goes head-to-head against the Garmin again.
Help me decide between cell phones?
in GPS technology and devices
