Problem with using your phone in the same way as a bar mounted GPS is that it smashes the battery in no time, isn't as accurate as a well set up "proper" bike GPS.
And they aren't very tough or water/sweat proof.
The altitude stuff is not really needed, as when you upload to garmin or strava it will work out a *fairly* accurate altitude from the map data. Or if not accurate, at least consistent from one ride to the next. The built in altitude on the GPS is usually barometric, so not very reliable either!
I'm using a 605, which does all i need it too and more.
Will probably upgrade to an 810 at some point in the next 12 months, if i ever get out on my bike.

As requested, I have started a thread on the subject of GPS devices. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=271563
