I don't think Gran Turismo 4 Mobile will have dashboard view, as it's really Gran Turismo 4 converted for use on the Playstation Portable.
It looks as pretty though, and hopefully will have the same gameplay.

Check out the GP2X from Korea. Its a Linux powered hand-held console that you can install software on. Basically its used for emulation, older 8 and 16 bit machines such as the Atari ST, Lynx, Amiga, Gameboy and so on, should run great on it.
As i don't own one i can't tell you what they are like. I think the games designed for it are pretty average too. But the library of roms and emulators on the web make this worth it if your into old games.

My friend says it's balls, and he wishes he never bought one. Though that was the first version.

The 04 was not strict realism ala GTR2 or rFactor either, as most Rally games aren't to be honsest.. but it was a fun drive, mostly because the tracks where awesome.
I fully expect 05 to be the same sort of deal, and thats probably a good thing for a small portable like the PSP, could you imagine playing GT-Legends with a small analog thumb stick? it'd be hell!
But you are very welcome to recommend anything good, im allways on the lookout for a good racer

Thats a bit depressing.. im really an awfull driver without my dashboard, from the heli cam views i make an absolute mess of the corners..
Don't worry, there's always hood-view!
And perhaps, there will be dashboard view in GT4 Mobile, but don't count on it.
I'm not saying that it wasn't a strict simulation! I'm saying that the cars felt like hovercrafts! It has nothing to do with how a car behaves.
As an example, just so you know how bad it is, Rally Sport Challenge 2 in all its fast-paced arcadey glory feels more realistic than CMR 05. See, I don't mind arcadey games. I'm not a fanatic who discards a game because its tire heat simulation wasn't perfect or something. I LOVED Rallysport Challenge 2. But CMR 05 isn't "not complete simulation unrealistic" or "arcadey but fun unrealistic" but its "what is this supposed to be unrealistic".
CMR 05's friction system could work in a sci-fi racer, possibly with the addition of weapons and it could turn out to be an awesome game, but as a semi-realistic rallye game it fails horribly.
I don't know if nostalgia is clouding my mind but I seem to remember that CMR 3 felt much more realistic.
As for racing games, I would probably try to get one of the Burnouts if I were you. I have played Burnout 3 and Burnout: Revenge and both were awesome games so if the psp ones are anything like them they should be great fun.
There is also a ridge racer which is just as arcadey but without the destruction. Might still be fun.
I have seen that there is a Tekken for it. Tekken is a renowned fighting game series but I have never played one so I can't tell you if its any good. However the screenshots looked impressive and it might be worth a try. Especially if you have been exposed to earlier titles in the series amd you know (and like) what to expect.
