What do you think you're missing out on? OnStar is a joke. Get a bluetooth cell phone kit and you have 10 times the utility of OnStar for 1/10 the price.
I used the personal calling for a few months, and it has two benefits: It's handsfree, and it's analog, so it works where my phone doesn't. It has many drawbacks: Non-competitive pricing, EXTREME frustration with the voice recognition (I've gotten so pissed at that lady confusing 6 and 0 20 times in a row I started screaming at the car. Pedestrians thought I was nuts), no number pad to check voicemail (no voicemail for that matter), it's analog, so the sound quality is inconsistent...
And the GPS capability is bunk - give me a usable antenna lead so I can install a real navigation system.
Note, I've got an '03 convertible - I think some of the '03 sport sedans do have a keypad, and maybe have better voice recognition?
