Garmin's nuvi 880 gets great recognition!

 

 The Garmin nuvi 880, the first navigation unit with full bragging rights to great speech recognition has garnered some glowing reviews from various websites.

 

 One particular review by PC Magazine's Craig Ellison gives some detailed results from a former Dragon speech recognition user, and all in all, our hats are off to a great product with real speech recognition!

 

AT&T Navigator gets ho-hum user responses..

 

 AT&T launced it's "Navigator" service at Wireless CITA 2008 and it's off to a rocky start. The new service features interactive speech recognition which seems to work well, but the GPS and routing configurations are getting some complaints already in popular user forums..

 

 It's a built-in feature for these AT&T handset models:

BlackJack™ by Samsung
BlackJack™ II by Samsung (Real-Time Traffic compatible)
HP iPAQ hw6510/6515
HP iPAQ hw 6920/hw6925

HTC Tilt 8925 (Real-Time Traffic compatible)
AT&T 8125
Nokia E62
BlackBerry® 8700c (Real-Time Traffic compatible)
BlackBerry® Pearl™ (Real-Time Traffic compatible)
BlackBerry® 8800 (Real-Time Traffic compatible)
BlackBerry® Curve™ 8300 (Real-Time Traffic compatible)

Nokia 6682

  and is available through AT&T to these devices, as an account add-on:

Palm® Treo™ 650
AT&T 2125
HTC 3125
AT&T 8525

  and/or other "AT&T Navigator approved mobile devices".

 Navigator also offers updated estimated arrival time(s) and traffic information.. but those services also appear to have a few inherent bugs, too.

 Another valid & common complaint we're seeing:
The product is obviously TeleNav, but Telenav refuses to support it and calls to AT&T offer no individual dept. for support, nor does AT&T Customer Service seem to be aware there is such a product, or where to direct calls.
