Re: Re: [OT] Anyone got one of the new TomTom's yet?

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My bluetooth phone was requsitioned for 2 weeks hols as it has
international roaming (or more likley cos I pay the bill)  before I had
a chance to play much on handsfree - made a couple of calls and received
one but not whilst navigation was running, maybe Paul can check this.

The handsfree quality can be improved if required by purchasing a small
cable mic but it was fine with mine without.  I dont know if it uses the
TomTom as a mic (inbuilt) or the mic in the phone otherwise - I expected
it to be the TT but couldn't see a hole as expected.  If it's the phone
it's not going to be good in a jacket pocket/bag is it.

POI sounds are downloadable to TT now, and warn distances are settable -
also an option for 'on/off route' for warnings.  I understand TT are
also considering allowing customisation of the speech voice.  - could I
really cope with a 'told you so' in the vocab ;-)
