At the Moment tehre are two Options to use Data from Openstreetmap (http://www.oepnstreetmap.org):
1. Go for a Linux based device and Navit (http://navit.sf.net)
2. Any Garmin device, as their proprietary Map Format (.img) has been reverse engineered.

Sadly, .img is not yet fully reverse-engineered. It's a compound format, and the sub-part which indexes street names is not yet fully known. So you can't search by street name or postcode, only POI.
It would be great if someone could look into this.
