Is this info still current? $25/mo seems really low. What's the catch? Can you make Skype calls on 3G or is it WIFI only? Virgin is owned by Sprint?

Data is unlimited, but minutes are limited ( but there are workarounds, as he says).

Google has Navigate for free, which has spoken turn indicators. It also works when you give it voice commands like "Navigate to 1213 Main Street, Podunk, Oklahoma".

It's hard to see why you need a GPS now. I never bought one, and I don't need it now. Of course, if you JUST want it for GPS, it's not worth it, but if you want a phone, GPS, wifi hotspot, camera, can opener....
