Hey everyone,
My contract is up for renewal next month, and im looking into getting a symbian phone so I can run tomtom (5 or 6, not bothered).

The trouble is I may be on the Three network? Would this be a problem? Because I think Ive heard somewhere that the N73 doesn’t run tomtom on the three network?
(although I don’t see why not, unless its something to do with their branding firmware?)

So basically, which Symbian handsets will run TomTom except the N95’s?

Ones available to me cheaply on 3 are:
6288
6151
6120
6500 slide
E65
N73
(don’t know if these will run tomtom though….)

But because im currently on O2 maybe they will upgrade me to something to keep me with them?

I know ill have to get an external BT GPS receiver and ill be getting a holux one.

But more importantly can anyone tell me definitely if Three stop tomtom etc working?

Thanks everyone
Pete

on further inspection im really liking the look of the E65 but the fact that the N73 has a flash on the camera is winning....

ive searched the forums and people said theres some fauts with the N73 and tomtom?
(ie, dropping BT and general slowness of the screen while navigating)

If i got it on O2, debranded it, got the new firmware, bought tomtom nav 6, loaded this on, maybe the speed camera database on here? (just the gatso and mobile sites if i can ony add those? Confused )
then in theory i wouldnt lose BT because of the new firmware and the sow down should be at a minium due to only 2 sets of POIs?
(i never normally used pois back when i used the SPV500 and TT5 so doubt id have any others active)

do people think this makes sense ad is plausible to be a good choice?

also where is it reconmended i get the Holux GPS BT reciever from? ive seen a few on ebay but would rather get it from somewhere thats recomended on here Very Happy

Have a look at the TomTom website - they list the supported devices for TomTom 6.

It runs fine on my N80 (I have UK/Ireland on it).
TT6 only runs on Symbian Release3 which limits it to fairly recent phones.

To complicate things somewhat, Tomtom list only those devices that are officially supported.

If a device is not listed, it doesn't necessarily mean that Tomtom won't work on it, just that Tomtom don't officially support it.

Given the state of Tomtom support, that's no great dealbreaker if you ask me...provided that the software runs on the device.

I run TT6 on my Nokia E61 and its solid as a rock. At the time it wasn't listed on the TT page as supported
