Yes it was very think and very fast and the screen was wider, however it had way too many flaws.

Namely it's navigation was poor and the screen was dark with poor color... oh and the price was outrageous!

I bought a htc phone with google android and it has the best google powered navigation system I have ever seen. I bought a used one on ebay for about 100 bucks and it works fine. The screen is about the same size as the iphone 5, the speed is ok, it has tons of features compared to the iphone 5.

android os has the best navigation I have ever seen.
You know that you can adjust iPhone screen brightness, right?

As for navigation, nothing beats the FREE Google maps available for the iPhone.

I am getting an iPhone 5 for Christmas and I want turn by turn voice navigation just to get me around my borough. If I needed to go long distances my dh would drive or I would use my GPS.

So, if I want to just get from point A to B around my neighborhood, I should download mapquest and it talks? Is it free?

I don't have a smartphone now so all this is new to me.

Thanks.
Just to follow up, I downloaded the google maps app (for free) and I used it this weekend. It was great for me to get around since I wasn't sure where I was going. It gave me turn by turn easy navigation. I was very happy with it and I directionally challenged
