With a My Touch 4G through T-Mobile and I am impressed. What I like most about it is it is also a "Hotspot" so I can do away with my Sprint Wireless dongle. It is sized nearly identically to my iPhone and the voice recognition stuff seems to work quite well. Last night I pushed one button (the "genius" button) said the name of a restaurant and a moment later it starts navigating me there in a style reminiscent of a Garmin Nuvi.
 
Yup. Leslie and I love our Android phones. Hers also has that "hotSpot" feature built in (for a fee from Verizon :)). We've been known to use the navigation feature, too!
 
I have an HTC Evo. Waaaaaaay cool. I turned down a company iPhone for the pleasure of paying for this myself.
 
I'm pretty happy with my HTC Incredible Android. Includes the hot-spot feature. Just wish the battery lasted a bit longer.

I have a 2352 MiFi that I take internationally.... with the right prepaid data plan in the country I visit, it's superb.

Yep. I have a T-Mo Nexus One, and love it.
I used the navigation mode all the way back from Oshkosh (not that I needed it) and it was flawless.
Voice search, Google Maps, and Android navigation modeis the stuff of SciFi.

I needed to get to a campground a couple hundred miles away, and the Nuvi couldn't navigate me there. Not by the campground name, the town name, or the park name. Nothing in the database that worked.
Voice search Google with the campground name, it came right up. Hit the Nav button, done. Beautiful.
Garmin's in trouble.

The software user interface is not as elegant as my iPhone, but it does a fast hotspot which allows me to get rid of my Sprint dongle and bill. It also supports UMA service through T-Mobile. It does get hot as a hotspot though, literally. As a hotspot though, if you want any kind of duration you need to be plugged in. Even in general usage I'm less than impressed with the battery life.
