So I'm looking at getting either a Z3 or a F900BT for my car. I'm looking mainly for GPS and iPod connectivity, and general "my car kicks more ass than yours" status. I'm struggling on making a choice though. These are the pro's and cons in my mind..

 

Z3 pros:

7-inch screen

hard drive

fast boot time

looks damn cool

 

cons:

1300 dollars (on Newegg)+cost of iPod/Bluetooth accessories

seemingly low res screen (480X234)

Smallish HD

 

F900BT pros:

Built in iPod/Bluetooth

High-res screen (800X480)

Solid state

700 dollars on Newegg

 

cons:

Reports of a painfully long boot time

Smaller screen than the Z3

Not quite as bad ass looking as the Z3

 

What are your thoughts? Which should I go with?

Ipod and bluetooth are better of the F. Z is better at everything else and doesn't have any bugs. Up to you

The Z doesnt play DivX. Im contimplating the same thing, but will probably get the Z because it looks way cooler.

I just installed the bluetooth on my Z2/Z3 and I love it. It is the coolest damned thing I have ever owned. I even had the $300 Motorola 1000 something or rather and the Z blows it away.

 

A friend and I are discussing this very topic now. I have the Z and he is thinking of buying the 90. As of right now, he is leaning toward the Z because of all the features that the 90 does not have plus the bigger screen in a full size truck is the final factor in the decision.

 

Best of luck figuring it out, but at least we are not talking about Alpines
