Question need a new phone

hey :>

i'm not a phone-guru and since i know how much you guys like to talk about phones, here's another thread for you

so my good ol' motorola razr is apparently going down the crapper. buttons not working properly, randomly restarting itself etc.

right now i'm on a t-mobile myfaves 300 flex plan and i'm paying about $55 for 300 minutes, unlimited weekend/nighttime minutes and 400 texts. plus the myfaves thing where i can call five people for free all the time. i don't have a network preference. so my next phone doesn't need to be on t-mobile again. but i don't really need any of the "unlimited everything" plans. except data of course on a new phone

i'd like a phone that I can use as a GPS unit in my car. not just google maps, a real GPS. i need a calendar/schedule, do some internet surfing and listening to music via pandora would be cool too. can you hook it up a phone to your car stereo and listen via the audio system?

now the two best phones right now seem to be the iphone and palm pre as far as i can tell. i read a couple of reviews for both of them already.

any other phones that i should check out?

iphone:
i like the phone itself. any news about how much the tomtom GPS app is gonna cost? i really really reaaaaaally dislike AT&T and their nickel-and-dime strategies plus expensive plans. unlimited data + 450 minutes + 1500 messages = $90 a month! is there something like weekend/nighttime minutes?

palm pre:
i haven't tried the phone yet. the keyboard looks cramped though. lots of people having problems with their pre's, some have returned it twice or more often already. some say sprint is great, others say it sucks. since i live in a very populated area i guess i should be fine. how's the GPS? unlimited data and texts + 450 minutes = $70. what about weekend/nighttime minutes?

any input is appreciated
