This device doesn't have 5 hour battery, barely 3 hours...

530, 730 and 930 are the new model announced at this years CeBit and they are all black in colour. Some retailers have just started selling the 930.

The old 520, 720 and 920 were grey.

faife,

You'll find the time between the press release going out and actual shipping date can be some length

TomTom announced the 920T at IFA in September and eventually shipped it in "the last ticking seconds of 2007"

Review units can also take sometime after it's in the shops, to finally arrive in a tech-journos "grubby little hands"

As even though it's on the shelves no hack is actually going to buy it for a review, they have to wait for marketing or pr to get hold of them before eventually passing them along

Seeing as the 930 was announced in March, don't expect it to ship anytime before June or see reviews before August :)

The 930T is the latest as announced
in this press release from six weeks ago.

I used to have a tomtom1, and after changing job recently had to get a new one.

I do over 1000 miles a week, right throughout the southwest of the UK, and spent 1 week researching satnavs. Indeed i was looking at the 920t.

I ended up with a Garmin Nuvi 710. its got most of the 920t's features, fm transmitter, tmc,large screen the lot for about £180!

It also picks up satelites from cold in a few seconds flat, something my tomtom used to take a long time, going from site to site this also helps alot.

I couldnt justify the cost of the 920t now. The only thing i will say is that tomtom maps are slightly more accurate.

Just use a map. What the hell, I mean first the roads are marked out because - they're roads and they have signs, and some people still need automated instructions to tell them where to go. 

I've seen plenty of dodgy roadsigns that are outright lies, but the info for those are the same sources used to program the sat navs anyway.

How do you get people to willingly put tracking devices in their cars, and pay you hundreds for it too? No, it's not a joke...

The one area they could be useful in, is in avoiding heavy traffic. Except in the UK it's not really possible to take alternate routes on any M or A road, that doesn't take you about 50 miles at least extra travel time. If there's a jam, that's it, there only is that road there anyway. Hence why it's impossible to get lost here - you have to really try to get lost driving in Britian. Take a whole series of B roads and don't look at the signs for example.

Too funny! I know this may sound juvenile and a bit "South Park" related, but the 1st snapshot in this article has a road named "Cockspur." Just in case (and keeping it clean for readers) ... in the US ... "cock" is a derogatory term for penis and "spur" is a small thorny weed (like a star with many rays). Thus "Cockspur" sounds like a thorny penis. I'm so juvenile but these things make me laugh during stressful days. I love "The Inquirer".
