Throw a spanner in the works by suggesting a look a the Runbo range of phones. Going by the specs: dedicated GPSr durability, very long battery life, run android OS so you can use c:geo app and load offline maps, fairly decent cameras, and are also walkie talkies.http://en.runbo.net/productview.php?id=226
Forgot to say I received my New Garmin 650 yesterday from Handtec via Amazon within 24 hours of ordering it for £282.90 plus £5.95 post and package.As this is my Christmas present from Mrs S-of-A, I cannot use it until the day but I have negotiated release of the quick start manual (first year level) but online info.much more helpful,but not from Garmin where the "proper" manual is currently unavailable.Don't you just love em?!!
i have done a lot of research on options including testing this forum but have not found any phone/gps hybrids other than of course the ubiquitous ipads,Androids and mobile apps. which are not a patch on dedicated gps for serious caching.Maybe,one day? Probably!
