I have always logged my rides with sports tracker on my Nokia Phone, I loved it as it was one program that I could seperate my different rides on, (road/Commuting/just taking the kids out) plus it had seperate settings for running and a heap of other stuff (I used to use it as a tracker when I went out 4wding, and same for my wife when she went trail riding on her horse so we could see on google earth where we had been). After 3 years my nokia packed it in and the gps wouldn't connect any more so I upgraded to a HTC sensation, good phone worst battery, from fully charged it managed to run sports trcacker for about 4.5 hours before the battery gave out 3km from home, NOT HAPPY.
So seing as I'm stuck with the phone for the next couple of years I thought about getting a Garmin, also so I have a speedo on my bike not in my pocket.
I can get a 705 for $369 or an 800 for $599, so really leaning to the 705 as as far as I can tell the only real difference is the touch screen, and I'm not to fussed about that. unless there is someother reason to go the dearer model? (sorry I haven't read all 17 pages of this thead to find out if it has been covered, I'm a pit pushed for time at the moment.)
