No compass - does that impact navigation functionality?

[mapexvenus]

I have been seriously considering this phone over the Samsung Focus S which I currently have. I hear that this phone does not have a hardware compass of gyro. I am curious about how this impacts the phones ability when it comes to navigation capabilities.

All I can say is that mine navigates just fine. (It's the Outlook synch that's driving me nuts LOL).
