Thanks for all of the responses. I am going to get the i 4.
I tried to upgrade online yesterday because I was told that if you do that they would just add the cost to your next bill ( this would work better for me, this close to Christmas I don't have the spare $ ) but I found out you still have to pay up front. Oh well, I guess I can wait a few more weeks.

What about the internal GPS, is it accurate enough to cache with?

Rumors and gossip. I have 2 3GS phones and an i4. The 4 is the best of the lot.

I no reception problems. The processor is much faster than the 3GS as well.

I like mine.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

If your only choices
Are between the 3GS and he I-4 the choice is clear and easy. To muddy the waters, phones like the droid-X are quite capable pieces of hardware.
I still got the i4 tho.

http://webpages.charter.net/jbensman/Maps.htm

New Windows version of

MY Topos: Lots of corrections in the STL area

MY POIs: MDC released a shapefile of 15,000 survey monuments of some sort. I added them as elevation spots.

My Trails: Did some work on the Ozark Trail, Pickle Springs, and Hawn. I also added something new. I've figured out a way to cover up roads in City Navigator that are not there (mostly in parks)

I've been adding a change log at:

http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/53

If you want more details on what has changed.

There is a new Windows version of my trails.  It has some corrections
for some parks in ST Charles.  I also updated it for City Navigator
2011.3.  They finally put the roads in Bush Wildlife Area-so I removed
the ones they added.  They also after 25 years removed the roads Mark
Twain Lake flooded.  But they did NOT fix the rest of the area.
Several closed roads are still shown.
