I knew these were coming, so I went and bought one of the old 700's at a knock down price. I'm taking a chance that the new 910 is at least the price of old 700 before it was discounted heavily. I hope that I haven't done the wrong thing

The 700 is a fantastic unit, I saw they are up for 3349 and was wondering why, now I know...

Wonder if HAT will get 1 of these, he likes his Tom Tom's

I like the human traits voice technology that will actually read out street names. Now that is trick.

Hi mate hows u!
Yeah but will it sound too computery

I think I will invest in a 910, I like the light sensor on the top of the unit, simple but effective solution to glare on screens in different conditions and dark mode at night

Hi There!

I have pre ordered mine! I have gone for the 910, couldnt resist the 20G hard disk! (Just sold off my 700)

Does anybody know what the subscription costs are for RDS/TMC (Trafficmaster)? Tomtom are releasing an antenna which will apparently pick up traffic data for free (rather than through your mobil/bluetooth via GPRS). However I have heard you will have to pay subscription to get these traffic signals? I really wanna use this feature as the mobile/bluetooth function isnt great, and of course costs extra money.

Does anybody know what the subscription fee would be if it was needed? Ive heard £120 per year, certainly not worth it for the everyday Joe!

Yes, doing well. How you doing.

Link to samples but these are worse quality than the real thing apparently.

£120 is a bit steep, I guess worth it if you are a heavy user for business for instance.

Whens yours due for delivery?

Im good mate cheers,

Will have to listen to those sample I think in real life

Isn't TMC barred from the UK other than from BMW/MINIs. Someone told me this a few months ago.

[ALD0]

Don't think so as it's an independant company unless BMW have bought the company?

Hey There,

Initially I was quoted late April, but this has now changed to mid to late May. Tomtom havent released any yet, and I have noticced that the models have disappeared off their own web site! (I hope only for updating etc!?) I really hope there aren't any longet hold ups. Would like to have it now the good weather is creeping in!

Keep us posted

The new units looks great. I still can't decide whether to go for a Tom Tom or whether to get the factory-fitted nav. The fact that Tom Toms are about 100 times better and much cheaper should make it a no-brainer, but I'm stilling leaning towards having it built in...
