I really enjoyed the review... it was thorough and did a great job of giving the reader the "real life" experience.
I reviewed SmartST Pro a little over a year ago for another site, and I'm a bit disappointed to see that it hasn't really changed since then. Especially when competitors like Ostia and Destinator are adding such major new features as multi-stop routes and online updates. Seems that the other guys are starting to leave Navman behind.
My review of the Pharos iGPS-BT just posted last week and it seems like the BT receivers are pretty evenly matched. The Pharos uses a lithium polymer battery instead of disposables... there are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. During my testing, the Pharos never dropped its connection either to the satellites or the Pocket PC. Finally, there's no problem with seeing power and connection lights, since the whole Pharos unit glows blue when turned on.
The review I'm working on right now is for Destinator 3... it should be interesting to see how SmartST, Destinator and Ostia compare.
