For what it's worth, the iPhone version is shipping in the UK and I've been using mine for a couple of weeks now. Build quality is excellent and the GPS performance seems to be enhanced over the built-in one. Voice calling is clear and the volume is good - the speaker quality is excellent actually and much better than the built in microphone. The mount isn't quite as easy to use as my RAM mount, but once in the device is held well and it charges quickly. Is it worth the retail price... I'm not sure, you're definitely paying a premium over the other items on the market, but it's got enough of the JustWorks about it that the premium is worthwhile, if JustWorks is your thing!
