Mrs Logger has had one for a week and has been showing it off non stop. After looking at some of the navigation / bike computer type apps, it looks like it might be handy right enough ?

So what model holder/cover/bike mount set up do I need to make it worth the investment ?

All comments appreciated ?

Ive had one for a few months and to be honest Im not that impressed. Its good but doesnt justify the price. Andriod phones seem to be able to do more and flash player is a big plus IMO.

Oh and id use an old phone on the bike incase you break it. You know O2 charge £15 a month for insurance dont you?

I've used my 3GS for GPS tracking on the bike and it's ok - reasonably accurate, but with a fairly short battery life (pretty much 3 hours max).

Mine is a company phone though - not sure I'd risk it if I had to pay for a replacement.

Battery life and gps accuracy is much better on the 4. I tracked with motionX for two hours the other day and used ~25% of the battery.

I tend to just stick it in my pocket or bag rather than have a mount but then I only use it to track rather than navigate.
