This is a pretty nice little radio.  It's more rugged than the Kenwood TH-D72 and has a smaller form factor.  The Kenwood has a more intuitive user interface though and a lot more APRS features.  My only complaint with this radio is that the GPS has a hard time getting a lock. This appears to be a problem in the design as lots of people have mentioned it.  Once it locks though it works fine.

Yaesu VX-8GR

This is a pretty nice little radio. It's more rugged than the Kenwood TH-D72 and has a smaller form factor. The Kenwood has a more intuitive user interface though and a lot more APRS features. My only complaint with this radio is that the GPS has a hard time getting a lock. This appears to be a problem in the design as lots of people have mentioned it. Once it locks though it works fine.
