Default TomToms, any experts on what model to get??

I want upgrade my TomTom. Its been my loyal servant and friend and don't know what I would have done without it!!!

But its an original one so its FAT AS FUCK

Need a Euro one. Want speed cameras and blue tooth phone thingy. And traffic info if poss?

Do I need the 900 thingy or one of the 700 jobbies?

You are marketting that all wrong if you are trying to sell it to Lee.

You need to say "normaly 200, but I will hand deliver it and set it up for you for 400"

He is never knowingly undercharged you know

Sorry although I know the TomTom 1 is the bollox, its not bling enough or expensive enough for me

BUT the bloke next to me wants it so SOLD. See you at ND have you got the receipt as warrenty is useless without proof of purchase on these mate.

Now back to ME!!! what TomTom shall I get guys???

I was going to replace mine with the 710 or 910 to get the widescreen and bluetooth. You can also get your text messages to show up on the screen. After doing a bit of research on it though, it seemed that the bluetooth option is crap and hardly works so im happy enough with mine for the time being. Im just going to update the map when i get round to it.

Does that actually work well then mate, as in first time. Can you also read out a postcode and it comes up straight away? Sounds ideal for me if it actually works. Does this have bluetooth too and does it work? Cheers.

Taffic areial works off RDS fella, you purchase in addition for Ł60 I think and it pluggs in the holder job done , also works aboard which is great
The speed limit just tell the the speed limit of the areas your currently in (next to actually speed)and is spot on, flashes Red on when over the limit, Also the 910 allow camera updates via bluetooth and loads to other features, I upgraded from the 500 and find the 910 loads better

ive only just got it this sunday, but ive played around with it & yeh you can just read out any 7 digit postcode & it brings up the roads name, ive put in my local's name & it takes me right outside of it this is under my points of interest, & it has hands free calling.
