"Nice idea, but..."
Pros: Size (form factor).
Cons: User Interface and maps.
Summary: Pros: Nice hardware / form factor design.
Cons: Allows you to enter contacts, but no routing from those contacts; inaccurate maps (even in areas that haven't changed in decades); thin POI database; device time not set by GPS; silly keyboard interface (why should I have to cycle through three keyboards just to enter a numerical address?); inaccurate ETA/ETR calculations; navigation lost when travelling on region boundaries; inaccurate touch-screen registration on some menu entries; turn notification at the exact point of the turn (couldn't it give a little more notice based on current velocity?)... There are more.
Other Thoughts: I bought this in July 2005, because I liked the physical design and I fly a lot, needing to carry a GPS with me. If you need a GPS that fits nicely in your laptop bag when you travel, *and* you're willing to put up with a junk UI, this is your device. If you want a nice UI, try another brand.
