Glad I could offer something useful...
The GPS function of my phone is very important to me, I use it regularly to map properties, hunting locations, points of interest in the woods, etc. The Droid phone has proven to be very accurate if you are a little patient, at least matching most dedicated GPS units, even very expensive handheld Trimbles. This is not in theory, but in actual field use, side by side, and in the office when the data is used to create maps of properties with GIS software. The biggest downside is the amount of battery used up, but that is usually caused by the screen being on, more so than the GPS function.
