I had an i760 from a week or so after it came out. I could not live with a two handed phone. the i730 worked well for me. i just paid full retail to get rid of the i760. so far the pearl 8130 has been great. its small, battery will go all day with heavy use, sounds better, picks up signals in areas were my 760 would not, good size collection of free and pay 3rd party apps, did i say how small it is. it does have some down sides. the keys were hard to get use to and the browser is a little goofy. I am new to BB so it took a few days to get it all figured out. (there is 2 pieces of software to install to make your BB work with your computer. it took me a day to realize this) over all i am a happy camper.


As far as the GPS, $10 a month with VZW or bluetooth gps reciever
