    I've got the BB Pearl 3g, not the best smartphone in the world but it does enough.

    I've got Endomondo and compared to my friends android version it rocks.

    Battery seems to last forever and I also have an altitude meter on my report whereas he doesnt. Great bit of kit.

    I got Endomondo on Android and it's decent enough. Lets me know what I need to. No altitude when I'm out on a trip but it is recorded and available online when In get back. I very rarely look at the trip stats during my ride anyway.

    At the moment it aint posting to my facebook though which is annying me!

    Hows your battery life Concorde? My mates b got blitzed from a full over night charge his lasted just just over 2 hours......just wondering if his battery is knackered but I know his phone isnt very old as it was mine. I got upgrade from Orange and sold it to him so the phone is 3 months old.

    I've not given it a long run yet. I jsut got my upgrade. HTC Desire HD. I aint holding out for too much I must say. It's absolutely shocking on battery life!

    piker, blackberry's bluetooth is data only so a bluetooth gps unit may not work??
    get your self over to http://forums.crackberry.com and have a look the model specific pages, should be able to find out on there pretty quickly!
