Please take a look at this Locus.com

No download of maps,,done automatic.
While listening to your music ,, sms with friends ,, talk to loved ones,,
If it goes kaput or loose it ,, buy a new phone and use the back up off a SD card you will keep as an emergency.
Yes,, phones cost 400 - 800 USD vs garmin USD 100 - 400 + individual maps ,,, kicker is,, garmin goes bad ,, you are out,, when you are traveling ,,
mp3 on old or few models. Short battery life,, terrible service.
Galaxy S 1-2 phones in every major village in the world.
I know how to use the garmin as well... quality sucks IMHO ,,
