FWIW, me and several of my friends have switched over to the Garmin i5 StreetPilot.
It has a very small footprint and the screen has great resolution because it is not touch-screen. It uses a clickwheel like my blackberry so I was instantly comfortable with it.
Amazon has it on sale for $284 or so clicky me.
The i5 runs on 12V or 2 AA batteries. Batteries last around 6 hours. It goes into night mode automatically when it's dark out and has a pretty loud speaker for voice directions.
It's not waterproof but it's very durable. The nicest thing is that all of North America is built-in and it can be expanded with mniSD cards.
The mount is really neat. It's a ball-socket joint. So far very secure and can be adjusted easily.
The best feature is that it has nearly every restaurant and store already in it. I tell it I want chinese for lunch, it finds them and tells me how far away they are. Oh I like that.
It's one of my top purchases of 2006.

Bought my wife the Garmin Streetpilot c330 for christmas. It is awesome! Portable gps, preloaded maps, touch screen display, voice prompts and vivid graphics. She loves it! $499 at best buy, but cought it on sale for $399. She told me it was the best gift she ever received, but I have created a monster. She can now find every quilt store in North America!
