How does handset-based GPS navigation stack up?

I've been intrigued about some newer java midlets (
Garmin and
TeleNav, for example) that allow wireless customers with java-enabled handsets to use real-time GPS navigation on their cellphone screens.
I am curious to see if these applications work well or are any threat to standalone GPS navigation units -- the ones by Garmin, Magellan and TomTom, for example.
Any users of GPS-based mobile navigation cellphones that care to chime in on usability?
