My phone can take and make calls while it's doing navigation. Not sure why yours can't.
Don't be a smart ass just for the sake of doing so. My phone will make calls and handle GPS duties too, however I explained it is more about personal preference. I don't wish to share GPS duties with the other task I am doing on my phone. Simple as that! No phone is going to change that for me! You like using your DroidX for doing both then I think that is fantastic for you.
I'm not being a smart ass. Don't be insulting. Either tell us why it is, or don't, but don't be insulting.
Insulting my ass! I already told you why, it's my preference! I am sorry that you don't like my answer, but that is all you are getting!
Now I am going to a high school football game, so I am done!
I finally gotten around, to check out the new update to Apple maps and yea I do see the comparison. But to be honest, I don't mind the change. The apple map layout does look cleaner, then google. I see google labels every street, which can be a bit confusing. But if you zoom into apple, then every street name does show. Yea Google street view is a nice feature, but I seen this post that DAB posted and google will probably be launching there own stand alone app soon. So whenever they do, people just decide which app is better, Apple Maps vs. Google Maps?
Google Maps vs. Apple Maps: A Side-By-Side Comparison
In the examples below, Google Maps is on the left and Apple Maps is on the right.
Map View of San Francisco
In this view, its not just the labels that are missing. Some of the streets are. I personally prefer that every street be labelled but could accept that some were not unless zoomed in but I really want to see that there is a street there. Looking again, the Apple map is missing the Central Freeway entirely. A pretty big miss.
That being said, my wife and I went exploring last night (like we sometimes do) and after we were suitable lost (well not really, we could have just reversed our tracks) she pulled up the maps on her 3GS (iOS6) and we did some more exploring. It was satisfactory. Of course, when it was time to come home, she enabled turn by turn but only got the print outs. I guess you would need the 4S or 5 to get the voice.

The problem I see with the Apple Maps is the lack of contrast. You need to be able to see the streets separated from the blocks much more clearly when you're driving.
