Got mine today. Absolutely awesome!

I have an i730. It paired immediately with it. Had to set serial port, then had to choose a com port (7). In my gps software (mapopolis), had to also choose com 7. Then, it hooked right in.

I have been using an iBlue GPS. While I love the battery life on it, it can be pretty flakey in acquiring satellites. I would have to let it sit on the top dash of the car, directed out the window and sit there for 3-4 minutes just to get a lock.

This freedom mini is incredible. Picked up the satellites, while sitting in my pocket. Quick and easy.

As a fwiw, the dc/car charger that came with the device didn't fit in my car (a Toyota Avalon). Used another one, with the enclosed usb to mini-usb cable.
