I've been following the new Helio Ocean phone for a couple of weeks and decided to buy one the other day. Ordered it off eBay, *overnight delivery of course!*, and activated it yesterday. Let me just say this is one heck of a fisherman's friend!
Not only does it include the google wireless maps application with satellite picture overlay and fairly frequent position updating but you can also subscribe to AccuWeather.com through their download-able software for $3.99 a month and get live weather updates. It gives you a 10 day forecast, wind speed and the best thing is the moving radar and satellite pictures. This looks to be a nice cheap and portable alternative to XM Weather Radio. I personally use a Humminbird 997c Si unit on my flats boat and unfortunately they have no interface for the satellite weather.
Take a look if interested:
