Verizon’s antiquated CDMA network won’t be able to hand simultaneous voice and data, unlike GSM/ATT. Why have multi-tasking without this feature? I can talk on my iPhone and browse or check email at the same time.

Also, anyone have a line on what pricing will be for data on VZW/Droid?

so what happens if you take a phone call…your map switches off…and in the middle of the phone call you were supposed to make a turn?

I like the idea of POI, traffic, street view coming from internet, but I want the maps on the SD card. Depending on a cell signal for gps navigation is just a bad design.

This is a great feature, I’ll be able to use the Maps a lot.

I am definitely looking to get an Android phone when its time for me to upgrade.

Too expensive for me. Way too expensive.

it just seems odd that Google is coming out with something that is this big of a deal, while at the same time releasing phones over the next few months that will not be able to utilize this “next big thing”. Doesn’t it encourage people like me to NOT buy an Android phone until 2.0?

Google Maps need to update the maps data more frequently.
With a 5+ years old map where i live, you would get terrible misguided from time to time. Roads i use every day does’nt even exist in Google Maps.

Being tied to data is a pretty big handicap in my opinion. I travel to many places without a strong data signal and rely on the on board data provided by Copilot to find way points and such. Oh well, it will be nice to have around town even though I rarely need directions in town. Very cool, but crippled feature.

First off you people that are saying will this not work if a call comes in because it can’t do simultaneous voice and data, your probably only assuming the droid or some other CDMA phone on an EV-DO network. Any phone that comes with this on an HSPA network will have no problem since HSPA supports simultaneous voice and data. Aslo I thought I saw somewhere that the Droid supports EV-DO Rev A, which does support simultaneous voice and data, I just can’t speak for how much of VZ’s EV-DO network is Rev A.

@Eric I’m not 100% sure its a limitation of CDMA, but I tried a couple times to lookup something on the web while on a call (Blackberry curve 8330). The page never loaded. I never had that problem before when I was with AT&T.

Either way, I’m looking forward to this phone.
